Overview

The White Bluffs Center has provided programs teaching the life skills of sewing, quilting, weaving, spinning, basketry and all fiber arts to Children, ages 7-16 for the past 3 years. We would like to continue that program. Last year we presented over 30 different classes. Many of our students are "at risk" and need after school/summer programs and a sense of community.

Our teachers receive special "teacher training" and all have assistants.  The teacher/child ratio is 1:3. We work with children who have special needs, scout troops, 4-H and home schoolers, as well as individuals.

Deliverables: a minimum of 30 classes , serving hundreds of children

How will the 5K be Used?

Budget Notes: NO ADMINISTRATIVE assessments will be charged. All funds will be used to cover equipment (small looms, sewing equip, etc), Class supplies (yarn, fabric, etc) and small teacher stipends.
$ 5,000 Equipment, Class Supplies and teacher stipends
