What's Next?
We have been working this summer, tech training and acting workshops, for our May, 2011 program. We are considering addressing the following concerns: domestic and dating violence, bullying and alcohol and drug use. Our script is in development and we are finding partners to work with.
Funding is our biggest concern at this point. We have applied for a number of grants, so far no luck.
Any ideas?
