The phone number to call is 503-521-7997; interested parties can state that they'd like to attend the teen workshop and they will be connected to me or Izzy for registration.

Please see below for information and the flyer attached to this email: 

What: Creative workshop to honor and celebrate TDVAM with youth who are 14-18 years of age. The content is from A Window Between Worlds workshop curriculum, so it incorporates creativity and art.
