PROGRAMMING
Depending on the participants in the group and where everyone lives a central public location will be picked to first meet. The purpose for picking a public location is to become familiar and comfortable with public spaces to use them as a tool to meet with friends.
Here is a small outlook on the week as we want to keep it flexible to encourage everyone to express how they want their week to go and work with each other to have a enjoyable experience while fosters friendships. Groups will be 4 participants and one leader.
