At Greenway, everything is a learning opportunity<\/em>, especially when students express interest in learning new skills.\u00a0 We use the process of setting up and launching this shop as a learning opportunity for student interns from Fairfax High School and local universities.\u00a0 \u00a0These student interns work side by side with Greenway staff to influence design decisions, measuring, weighing, photographing, promoting and packaging products for the shop.<\/p>\n

Student interns have influenced the different versions of our fundraising shop over the years, but this is the first time we’re selling online.\u00a0 Thank you for checking out our shop and supporting the arts in LA![\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”26772″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”64px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”yes” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=”” background_color=”rgba(31,177,193,0.32)”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
