The Ember Ecosystem

Each program within Ember Initiatives is a living part of a greater whole — an ecosystem of creativity, care, and connection.

Therapeutically-Driven, Intern-Supported Design

Where clinical wisdom meets compassion and innovation.

Employment & Entrepreneurship through The DreamLab

One of the few programs in Henrico to blend purpose, income, and creative enterprise.

Nature-Based Wellness with The Terra Collective

Bringing restoration and regulation through earth, art, and movement.

Real Pathways to Independence

Each ember ignites another — skills, confidence, and community belonging.

Part of the Ember Six-Phase Plan. See program pages for details.
