Session and meetings will be hybrid using both online meetings and some in person. Click here for application.  Applications are due August 31. The program fee for August 2021 – May 2022 is $50 per student. However, if this presents a barrier to a student's participation, we encourage you to apply and email susanwake@comcast.net so we can work with you.
