Our Winter 2022 cohort begins February 7 and meets every Monday evening from 6:00 - 9:00 pm for 10 weeks. Our priority is removing barriers - and that includes financial hardships. So, costs are based on a sliding scale depending on your household income.
Our cohort is planning to meet in person, masks required, but we recognize there may need to be a change for the safety of our cohort.
