What About After Their Business Program?
In just the last week, our students have been able to participate in 2 incredible opportunities. Last weekend, our students set up shop and joined in a Real Adult Handmade Market through the Tri Cities Collective! That’s right!

I wanted to give a short and sweet reason for […]
