What does the program and time commitment look like?

We anticipate 10 hours of time for participants throughout the course of the program. If you are unable to attend any of the scheduled sessions, we ask that you notify staff in advance.
What happens if I must miss a session?
We ask you to make every effort to attend sessions, both to support your cohort and because they are cumulative, but recognize conflicts may arise. Our staff will work with you to review what materials you miss, and you can coordinate with other cohort members as to what is needed in your absence. . If a key decision is being made in that session, we will get your input ahead of time, so it can be incorporated.
