SIP strives to engage, influence and connect individuals and families with resources, education, and training through a variety of collaborative efforts and partnerships resulting in exposure to opportunities that will transition them into a condition of empowerment and self-determination.
Our Purpose
Empower people while impacting the world.
Our Why
Since its inception, SIP has been on the move assisting individuals and families providing free individualized services, information, resources, and emotional support needed to positively enhance the independence and productivity in our community. SIP supports all ages and backgrounds throughout the Greater Baton Rouge area extending throughout the southeast region of the United States.
Feature Event:
The Louisiana Red Beans and Rice Heritage and Music Festival is a vibrant celebration of one of Louisiana’s most beloved dishes and its rich cultural heritage. Held annually in Baton Rouge, this family-friendly event brings together local farmers, businesses, and artists to showcase the history and flavors of red beans and rice.
2nd Annual Community Easter Egg Hunt
Hop on over to the Paula G. Manship YMCA for a fun-filled day of egg-citing adventure!
Bring your family and friends and join us for a memorable day of hunting for colorful eggs hidden throughout the grounds. There will be laughter, joy, and of course, lots of chocolate eggs waiting to be found!
Don’t miss out on this egg-tacular opportunity to celebrate Easter with your community!
The exhibition is celebrating the collaboration between Ellemnop Art and The Stitches Group. The Stitches Group is a consortium known for its advocacy in mental health awareness and support. They courteously present The Mental Health Art Gallery, a space dedicated to promoting the therapeutic aspects of art. The tapestry style canvas is a introduction to the creative mind of @sarahdupree_
@sarahdupree_ brings her creative talents from Ruston, LA. Born in Guatemala, she is a multidisciplinary artist using abstraction to explore the divine through subconscious exploration.
Her work is on display at The Mental Health Art Gallery until June. Schedule a tour to see her collection in person!
