It’s located at 113 West Maple St. in Centralia.
Recent initiatives include supporting Juneteenth celebrations, co-hosting a Twin Cities Pride event in July, and launching an essay writing contest during Founders Day.
ROOTED is currently inviting applications for two open board positions specifically for individuals residing in eastern and western Lewis County as well as a student representative position on the board.
"If you are passionate about community engagement and interested in helping educate the people of Lewis County about the importance and impact of our work, we would love to hear from you," ROOTED stated in an email.
