This event is the 2-day kick-off of our program cohort. During this time together we lay the groundwork for the work we will be doing together, set expectations, get to know one another, form our teams and begin to bond as a class. The time we spend together includes meals, activities, presentations, and time outside. In order to make this time together successful, many different elements are needed and those that are supported by in-kind donations allow us to not only further develop our program but more importantly, those that it can reach. Through in-kind donations, we are able to give a greater amount of financial assistance to those that might otherwise not be able to participate in our program.
