At-Home Projects

Typically workshop members must complete 3 hours of community service with an organization on the community service list provided by Sustainable Works. However, during the Spring 2021 semester, this requirement will instead be fulfilled by 3 at-home projects. Details on these projects will be sent once the workshop begins.
