CREATE - Park Rapids, MN.
Our Story
Every item in our shop—including notecards, jewelry, and handmade goods—is thoughtfully created by CREATE participants in our three studio locations, with guidance from our caring staff. When you purchase from our shop, you directly support our mission: ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to contribute to their community, share their talents, and experience personal success. Your support helps turn creativity into purpose—and art into meaningful lives.
CREATE is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering adults with disabilities to live meaningful, self‑directed lives. We focus on each individual’s strengths—fostering independence, creativity, confidence, and connection through skill‑building, employment opportunities, art programs, wellness activities, and community engagement.
As a Day Training & Habilitation agency serving adults with developmental disabilities and mental illness, CREATE believes in concentrating on abilities, not disabilities. Our participants are encouraged to explore their interests, build real‑world skills, and develop active, healthy, and fulfilling lifestyles. With the support of dedicated staff, local businesses, and hands‑on learning experiences, CREATE provides a safe, supportive environment where people can grow, create, and succeed.
