P:ear mentor training!
January 14, 2017 @ 9:00 am - 2:00 pm
Past outreach volunteers have hugely enjoyed our “Noggin Wednesdays” at the p:ear homeless youth drop in center in downtown Portland, where young people who mostly sleep rough find a safe, warm space with great food, art supplies, and caring staff during the day.

We’d like to start up weekly visits to p:ear again in 2017, but in order to participate, volunteers must be at least 26 years old and attend a mandatory mentor training now scheduled for Saturday, January 14th.

Hope to see you on January 14th – thanks for your dedication to arts-integrated neuroscience outreach & cheers!
