Does This Sound Familiar?

The Structure:

On the first Saturday of each month, meet with group leaders and fellow Gumshoes on Zoom. Check in with your progress, get support, and hear suggestions to overcome your challenges. A mini-lesson will cover a themed topic designed to help your project move forward.

No mid-month slump allowed! On the third Tuesday of each month, we gather again on Zoom. We'll check in with each other and handle follow-up questions from our Saturday class.

You'll also have an accountability partner to work with throughout the academy and you're welcome to email the group leaders as you need to.
