The 10th Annual UWO Free School planning is in progress!

●Saturday April 18th, 1-5pm
●Sage Hall UW Oshkosh, 3rd Floor

Free School was created to recognize education should be affordable and accessible to anyone who wants to pursue it.

We are currently searching for volunteer teachers who want to share their skills with the community. No qualifications necessary, just confidence in the subject and willingness to teach all ages. Subjects can range from martial arts to basket weaving. We can even help with supplies!

If you are an organization that would like to table with information, we also have spots for you! We averaged 150-200 people in past years and is a great opportunity for community outreach.
