“Fanastic! Kira and Elyse made this sometimes overwhelming topic fun and accessible. ”
As we have been building OTA, we too often would meet administrators, field staff or volunteers who all had the same question:
"How do I help?"
We've partnered up with the folks at The Avarna Group to offer services to help provide an answer.
For further information about these services, please email info@outthereadventures.org.
