We have been collaborating with Steel City Academy for their Gear and Flame Week .  (#GearAndFlame students have met grade level requirements, so they get to participate in a week of electives focused on vocational skills.)  After a week of exploring, we brought the #KenParr Build-a-Bike to Steel City’s campus in Gary’s Glen Park Community.  Our campers taught the kindergartens how to ride bikes and do a safety check.  Come to the Marshall J Gardner Center for the Arts on 10/13/19 from 4-6pm to learn about the #ServiceProjects our inaugural group of young leaders have been doing across NWI.   Thank you to our Gold Level Sponsor,  NWI Clean Air , our backbone organization  Miller Beach Arts & Creative District , our community partner  Family Folklore Foundation, Inc . and all our individual donors.
