Community Impact Sessions
Have you ever had a project, vision, or dream that you’ve wanted to spearhead to help further impact your community through piano teaching?
The Frances Clark Center is excited to launch the Community Impact Sessions. To support our community in their innovative work, monthly online sessions will equip, guide, and mentor piano teachers to create community-based projects. Led by experts in the field, participants will develop and advance their ideas and plans.
Community Impact Sessions provide opportunities to prepare for the Community Impact Grants application as well as build and develop projects that affect meaningful change.
Participants attend monthly meetings and receive guidance in all the stages of project planning, from initial brainstorming to planning and execution. A link to attend is provided by email upon registration.
