Cons.T.ruct 2020 has begun with a π₯!! Yesterday, we made shelves in a basic hand tools class. 6 more weeks to go!! @ TX/RX Labs
VOLUNTEER'S NEEDED!
hey everyone! We are moving right along and set to start our first job training program March 1st!
We are wanting to provide a meal each time we meet to our students so are needing some volunteer chefs! We have some money to give towards the purchasing of food, but really need some help cooking.
If you want to help out and you are interested please DM, email, or call us and I will put you on a spreadsheet with dates and times as well as answer further questions!
Finally! We want to make the program as accessible as possible to the cohort so are needing some weekly carpool support! If you are able to help drive please reach out as well. Thank you!
If you can't help with either of these things but are still interested in being involved we are also needing some organizing support for our Spring 2020 Trans Job fair!!
PLEASE SHARE :)
