COMMUNITY EVENTS AND WORKSHOP WERE AN OPPORTUNITY TO INVITE THE COMMUNITY TO OUR LAND FOR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, TO HELP WITH SITE CLEAN UP AND REPAIR, AND TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS AND SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT OUR CAUSE.$9,834
VOLUNTEER PROGRAM- The student volunteer program is at the core of SCAs plan to teach through building and build through teaching. Student volunteers learn a range of skills while working on building facilities for future student volunteers to use. In addition to building projects, recent student volunteers helped organize community events, taught arts workshops, and participated in field trips to Ojinaga, The Chinati Foundation, The McDonald Observatory, and Big Bend National Park. Living communally, working with each other, and with the local community, volunteers will learn practical skills and develop their leadership and teamwork abilities. This lived training is augmented by educational programs that connect the work to concepts of ecology, construction, holistic design. By instilling these values and equipping young people with practical skills and experience, SCA aims to send resident volunteers back to their communities motivated and empowered to enact positive change and more fully realize their own potentials.$17,503
