Course Description: A beginner crochet class to teach students the basics of crochet and be able to read patterns. We will also be discussing how we can use our new skills to create a future business and what that can look like. Students are encouraged to work on projects at home and bring to class the next class time to discuss and get feedback and help.

Crocheting for the Future Class Syllabus

*Please note: it is important to make as informed a decision as possible when choosing your student's Community Resource classes. Most locations will allow a student to drop a class after one meeting, at no charge if it wasn't a good fit for the student, but not all. Some classes plan ahead based on the number that have signed up and have purchased materials, hired teachers, etc. and there might be a fee for class time or materials given to the student if the student drops after one or two meetings. The school cannot pay for classes that students do not complete, so choose wisely; if you do not take the class off of your student's schedule by the deadline, you may be asked to pay for the class time incurred prior to dropping the class.
