Pledge to make a difference, together.
H’art Centre uses fine arts to help adults with intellectual disabilities find their voice, tell their story to the world, while improving literacy, interpersonal and life skills. H'art students have published three books featuring their fictional hero Newton, a young man with intellectual disabilities, as he confronts life challenges like finding a new group home or riding the bus alone for the first time. They turned two of the books into musicals which they performed to rave reviews. Since 2007, H'art students have been participating in a pilot project with Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, in which a number of H'art students attend Queen's classes. In 2005, H'art received the Canada Post Literacy Award for Community Leadership. H'art Centre is based in Kingston, Ontario but is committed to sharing its approach with like-minded organizations in Canada and around the world.
