Get Paid to Share Special knowledge!

Our teen Community Folk Culture Program students are looking to meet and talk with you if you are skilled in “stepping”, Double Dutch, tap dancing, or other rhythmic & rhyming art forms- even childhood games! If you learned within your family or informal community, your special knowledge could be folk culture and you can be a valuable tradition bearer.  

Please contact us soon to discuss the possibility of being paid for your time while sharing your skill and background with our students.
