Stir Up The Gift

Stir Up The Gift is a 501c-3 non-profit organization made up of highly skilled and recognized individuals who are willing to stir up the gifts of others who are equally as talented, but whose talents are lying dormant because they don't know what to do with themselves, or how to market themselves.

Classes we offer:
