There are many ways you can share your time and skills and learn from others – from sharing your recipes with our community and cooking in our kitchen, sewing in our workshop, helping out with our Urban Kai Farms.
We value reciprocity with those who share our vision of every child having a village. We also welcome corporate friends or larger groups who would like to have Together Days with us.
