What We’re Building
Four Orange Collective creates joyful, accessible ways for children and families to move, connect, learn, and thrive.
Through community wellness experiences, local partnerships, and shared-space activations, we bring movement, nourishment, mental well-being, play, and belonging closer to home.
When families feel supported and communities have places to thrive, children do too.
NESS Fest Is the Spark
NESS Fest is our signature citywide wellness experience—a joyful gathering that brings movement, mental wellness, food, family, and community together.
The festival connects families with local resources, creates new relationships, and helps power Four Orange Collective’s work throughout the year.
One joyful day. Year-round momentum.

How We Build With Community
No two communities need exactly the same thing. We begin by listening, then bring the right people, ideas, and resources together to create something joyful, useful, and built to last.
Listen: Learn from children, families, and the people already serving the community.
Connect: Bring together community voices, wellness professionals, local organizations, and supporters.
Co-Create: Shape the right experience, program, partnership, or shared-space project around the community’s goals.
Activate: Bring the idea to life through movement, nourishment, mental wellness, creativity, play, and connection.
Grow: Build partnerships and pathways that allow the work to continue, deepen, and reach more families.
A partnership might begin with one family wellness day, a neighborhood activation, or an improvement to a shared space. From there, it can grow into ongoing programming, deeper collaboration, and lasting community impact.
Let’s Create What Your Community Needs
Bring us a goal, a challenge, or an idea. We will build the next step together.
