Joy Collaborative was inspired by a desire to champion for kids and youth living with conditions that limit their activity and often keep them isolated.  


Harnessing the power of design, we create one-of-a-kind "Joy Rooms" that bring delight, enhance independence, create community and foster well-being.


We are a partnership of impassioned doers and givers, including designers, architects, builders, donors, volunteers and sponsors. We come together to transform environments from a place kids have to be to a setting where they — and others — want to be.


In addition to helping individual families, Joy Rooms are  accessible to more than 5,000 kids through public spaces and facilities.


Joy Collaborative is a 501©(3).

Spaces of Joy

Mark Ostrom, Founder, Executive Director & Creative Director of Joy Collaborative, was interviewed and published by Minneapolis Lakes Lifestyle magazine.



Executive Director and Founder of Joy Collaborative, Mark Ostrom, has a long history of working with those affected by life-limiting conditions.  While in college studying design, Mark began working with an organization that helped kids with clef palates. It was during that time that he connected with the families and individuals affected by this condition and learned where they needed the most support.
