GlassRoots has brought together a unique group of highly trained artists, deeply committed teachers and social service workers, undergraduate and graduate students, knowledgeable entrepreneurs and business men and women who have devoted the last five years to bring about the concept of GlassRoots to life. Each individual has participated in the fulfillment of the vision of offering arts and business skills to area youth.

Our continued work for the youth of our Newark community depends on donations from generous patrons such as you. Every little bit helps, from purchasing the supplies needed for crafting, to paying large utility bills to keep our melting furnaces running, to funding class trips to area museums. Please invest in our community youth today with a small donation to GlassRoots today, and become part of our tradition.
