Writing Workshop

Jessica led the Interns through a writing workshop about personal narratives. We learned about the power of our stories and how to craft them through different activities. In one of our activities, we all wrote a story based on our different ideas and sentences. We would all pass around a paper with a short sentence and try to make a story out of it. Thank you Jessica.

Thank so much Jessica Rivera, another one of our interns, for taking these pictures.

Progress Over Perfection Workshop

With Sarah from the non-profit, Yo Soy Ella, the interns learned about the value of overcoming perfectionism. They talked about their experiences with perfectionism and discussed ways to conquer it, such as switching to a growth mindset. Thank you Sarah for guiding us towards becoming comfortable with imperfection!

MEET AMANDA

I’m excited to introduce you to Amanda! She has a dream of starting her own handlettering business! So during one of our internship days, she practiced photographing her own work for content. Below are a few samples of her photos! Amanda, we are so proud of you and can’t wait to see where your calligraphy business goes!

BRAND POSITIONING WORKSHOP

Today our friend and board member, Deon, led us through a workshop called Brand Positioning. It was an amazing workshop where our interns got to hear from someone who owns a Brand Agency, and to hear his thoughts on what it means to position our brands in a way that stands out!

Thanks so much Deon for leading us through your workshop!

POTTERY FIELD TRIP

We had so much fun at our pottery field trip! We were able to bring a group of 8 teens to Gnarware Studio located in Pilsen, in which their staff led us through a pottery workshop. Our teens had so much fun! We look forward to being able to host more field trips in the future!
