Mission Statement
Our mission is to reach out to families and disabled, disadvantaged, or at risk youths with the goal of inspiring, educating and enriching their lives by providing insight and appreciation for music, art, history, literacy and life during the era known as the Renaissance.
Description
The Door County Renaissance Development Group, Inc. (DCRDG) seeks to provide educational resources and programs to the youth of our community in an engaging and fun way (edutainment) throughout the year in the libraries, schools, local Boys and Girls club and other venues for youth. Our particular focus is disabled, disadvantaged, and at risk youth. We partner with the local correctional system and provide opportunities for youth required to do community service with mentors who provide positive role models and encouragement, teaching skills to build self esteem and respect.
In addition we provide an annual 2 weekend event in the form of Renaissance Faire which is open to the community. This is our major outreach to provide a venue for entire families to participate in an event which is both fun as well as educational. This event also provides a venue for other non-profit organizations to raise funds and awareness for their organizations.
