“Thanks for having these sessions. I have been retired for five years and some the things discussed I have practiced and taught, yet some I have forgotten some things and these sessions are bring me back to my 'GAME.' Thanks again for the sessions and for the connections they offer.”
– Vernoca, Workshop Attendee
“I made a budget for this grant using the template and realized how incredibly useful the workshop I attended was! It made creating this program budget a breeze and I really felt like I understood how to do it to tell the story we were trying to convey in the grant. So YAY Culture Works workshops!”
