See you in September!
The Inaugural School Lunch and Learn Series is a yearlong professional growth opportunity for supervisors in the out of school time and youth development communities.
The series theme is based on the school year. Once a month from September to June, there is a different class taught by a different “teacher”. You are invited to enroll in any and all classes that you choose. There are also options for enrolling your entire team.
As a leader in the OST field, you invest so much in your staff and students. Increase your impact by investing in yourself! See you in September!
