Helpful Information
Community Connections offers parents, guardians, and other adult family members a place to connect with others who share similar interests, hobbies, and opportunities for fellowship.
These groups are informal, community-led opportunities and are not official committees or volunteer positions.
Some groups may meet during the G.I.F.T. day, while others may organize optional activities outside of co-op hours. By joining a group, adults will have the opportunity to connect with like-minded members, build friendships, and help shape each group's activities and level of involvement.
Participation is flexible! Adults may join a group at any time or step away if their interests or availability change.
