Due to the overwhelming support we get from our youth volunteers in the community, we have decided to offer free programming on Fridays for ages 12 - 18.  Each Friday will be a different type of craft/project for the participants to make.  These classes will have an instructor but will mostly be self-led.  Feel free to sign up with your friends to relax and craft. This program is offered every Friday starting July 11th through August 22nd. Each Friday will have a different craft/project. ALL SUPPLIES PROVIDED
