Saturday Sessions
We build community by hosting workshops that provide regular and consistent opportunities for high school students and parents to learn something new and build relationships that extend their personal and professional networks.
We create a safe space for inter-generational conversations where people with varying backgrounds, perspectives, attitudes, interests, and professions can share of themselves, learn from each other, and build bridges across lines of difference.
