Community Stepping Stones

Community Stepping Stones Empowering our community & enriching the lives of youth through the arts!

Through the gracious support of Hillsborough County and the City of Tampa, Community Stepping Stones sits on one of the most beautiful and historic pieces of ground in the Sulphur Springs community. At-risk youth in this community frequently suffer from extraordinary stress that is counterproductive to their ability to learn. Physical and financial immobility limits the development of their socia

l and life skills. Research shows that the performance of the neural pathways of these young people actually decreases as a result of economic and social stress. However, the same research also shows that when these young people are given the means and opportunity to creatively express what matters to them most,
their neural performance rapidly improves. Through a proven and effective integrated arts learning curriculum for Sulphur Springs youth, CSS helps young people gain control over their lives, cultivate positive habits, learn new problem-solving skills, and be inspired to make positive personal choices �

This summer, while many families are making plans, children in Sulphur Springs have a place they can go where their days are filled with nourishment, creativity, and connection.

At Community Stepping Stones, children arrive at 8:30 to enjoy a healthy breakfast, create art, explore nature on our beautiful grounds, share a balanced lunch, and collaborate with other kids on meaningful projects. It is more than just a summer program, it is a safe and inspiring environment where they can grow in body, mind, and spirit.

Without CSS, many of these children would go without the support and enrichment they deserve. Your contribution can make a direct impact. A gift of $50 sponsors a student for one week, $500 covers their full summer experience, and $2,000 funds a field trip for the whole class.

If you have not yet visited our classroom, we would love for you to join us on Saturday, May 30th from 1:30 to 3 PM for an open house to see the program firsthand and learn about the difference that this program makes in this community.

Together, we can help create an unforgettable summer for these incredible kids!
