Manchester Bidwell's innovative and responsive education model is affecting both public policy and the lives of at-risk youth. Youth Arts Education, Adult Career Training and Workforce Development are just a few of Manchester's programs that provide a return on investment for our community and our kids. The event will explore this successful model and include a tour of the facility's outstanding Drew Mathieson Center greenhouse, MCG Jazz recording studio, and the youth arts design and ceramics studios.
