Volunteer hours are, generally, 11am - 1pm Saturdays in October and November.

Common Ground is getting ready to launch our Fall after-school programs!

Program Fair is September 24th, and programs start September 28th! We have some great programs already lined up — from Wetland Crew, to Soccer, to Fashion Club, to Cooking.

We may have space for a couple of additional programs — especially Wednedays 1-3, STEM programs, and community service opportunities. If you have a proposal for our students and after-school advisory team to consider, you can learn more and submit at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdJGmDli8TfdXiSN7SteaaMeVP46YY4A2dDxnAa-i-B5bFX_g/viewform?usp=dialog.

This is what eight weeks of Summer Camp looks like. Muddy sneakers, lots of exploration, and making new friendships. Thanks to all of our camp kids for a great summer, we hope to see you next year!

Summer may be over but there are plenty of opportunities to come to campus and enjoy our programs. If you are looking for a great after school option for your kids, registration for Kids Unplugged is officially open. Click the link in our bio to learn more.
