objective
create a learning center that offer essential life skill classes we don't receive in modern school systems.

IMPACTS

  • - clarity about the financial and collaborative structure
  • - a team of 3 on-site people established with support from UCI
...

the 'Old School' learning center is an initiative by Spencer Vantress who dreams of creating schools that offer classes in everything we don't learn in the contemporary school system and uplifts the local community it is nestled in.

Currently we're looking at the structure for the school, how it weaves with the other activities of Los Higuerones, and how to create the program in alignment with the needs of the region that also includes visitors.

I help in structuring and weaving this initiative with the current activities of Los Higuerones.
