Flying Starlings

MISSION STATEMENT:

TO BRING PLAY + UNPLUG, COMMUNITY GROWTH, SOCIAL EXPERIENCES THROUGH EDUCATIONAL AND ENRICHED PROGRAMS, EVENTS, AND SERVICES

A simple, beautiful space that hears you, operates with consideration to Westport’s community, and a place to call your own. Community Space that offers Rentals + Unplugged Social Programs.

• Programs. Community UnPlug and Social Programs that encourage skills, art, creativity and promote overall healthier lives with our fairytale, old fashion programming for all ages. These are held weekly in Westport and are open to the public. 

• Community Development. We aim to offer our local community members meaningful experiences with neighbors, friends, and people that live near each other so that they can get to know one another, learn about one another’s cultures, and develop common interests, concerns, and goals. 

• Other Local Nonprofits. Flying Starlings interacts, supports, and aids other local charities and nonprofit organizations by offering free programs, supplies, goods, sponsorship when able, volunteering and by giving back. In 2019 we offered over a dozen free events for other nonprofits in order for them to raise capital for their cause/department/organizations.

• Special Needs in the Community. Some of the youth that attend our programs have sensory needs or high functioning autism. We have helped encourage friendships, socialization and self-esteem building for many of these kids. We are open and willing to always be a support and friend that takes needs and concerns into consideration.

• Healthier Lives. Much research supports that there is a positive impact on individuals and community members who participate in group activities, clubs, arts, creating, sewing, writing and many of programs found at Flying Starlings. Our goal is to support healthier happier lives in the local community.
