These programs sound amazing. I'm barely scratching the surface at this point, but my goal is to build a community and then open a coworking space in Southfield MI. I really want to have a youth element for my space to allow children to see other opportunities for making a living doing something they love to do, similar to what you wrote about Jeff. Janice, the tutoring idea is a great idea to give the kids a chance to experience the space. Are your community members providing the tutoring or will someone from outside be helping out? Chad, the Spark program sounds really great. Did you have to present to the school board or some other entity to develop the program and get the buy in from the school? How have the kids responded to the program? Benjamin, Your program sounds very intersting as well. I'm not able to watch the video right now, but was wondering, is your program connected with a school too or simply through the community? I wish you all the best and I'm interested to see how things grow. Aaron
