neighborhood service

Each Studio participant is expected to contribute at least 8 hours of direct service to an existing program in the Creston area. Please post your name under the placement you wish to do.
It is your responsibility to make contact with the person listed and inquire about the placement and scheduling. Remember that these people are probably busy. Please be of service. If you would like me to work with you in setting up your placement, please let me know. Your time in service is considered studio time and is a significant part of our project. Reflecting on your service will be part of your self-evaluation at the end of the course. I follow up with all placements.

Please make contact by February 11th.
