About Us

The Empowerment Factory (TEF) is dedicated to giving children the skills they need to lead happier, healthier lives. We focus on three areas of development: creativity, self-esteem, and civic pride. Our Creative Squad programs blend hands-on activities with social emotional learning (SEL) and environmental education. Our vision is for every child to develop confidence and the ability to express themselves while becoming actively engaged in their communities. We believe every child should feel that they matter and can make a difference in the world around them.

TEF offers programs and events for schools, after school, organizations, libraries, and youth groups to help children develop essential skills. Founded by Gail Ahlers in April 2014 as a nonprofit, and recognized as a 501(c)3 in August 2016, our blended learning model has positively impacted over 3,700 urban youth through 34 after-school clubs and 13 summer programs, primarily in under-served communities.

We invite your involvement—whether through resources, volunteering, or advocacy—as we work together to build a better world.

We are seeking volunteers for our Family Art & Literacy Night after-school events, held on Wednesday nights for children in grades K-5 and their families. Volunteers are expected to arrive an hour early for set-up and stay half an hour afterward for breakdown. During the event, volunteers will assist with children’s art activities and at the check-in table for families to check in and collect materials.

Where: Pawtucket public elementary schools

When: This is a multi-day opportunity. Volunteers can choose to participate on as many or as few days as they like.
