GREAT OPPORTUNITY!
Free "Inner Peace Corps" for 8th-graders headed to High School!
2024-25 Inner Peace Corps program September to April
This free (and super fun) arts+wellness leadership experience is for high school students interested in exploring, developing, and sharing creative practices that support inner wellbeing (no art experience needed). Students will meet twice a month — once in person, once online. In addition to opportunities to connect and create, they'll have the chance to earn $$ by representing the Inner Peace Corps at events, and going into elementary schools to support younger students.
On June 2, 4-5PM, we're hosting a zoom info session for students and parents/guardians. Here's the zoom link and please fill out our interest form so we can keep you in the loop!
