At COM, we believe that life is a continual journey of learning. No matter who you are, we all have areas where we can grow. But, this learning should not just be done by yourself, but should be done in community. That's the idea behind UCOM.
Every week, UCOM offers different classes to our neighbors to learn new skills and tricks for improving financial, social, and physical wellness. However, you're not just a passive recipient, but an active participant. Everyone has life experiences to share, and we find that the relationships formed in our classes often lead to further conversations and help outside of class. Even better, those who successfully complete classes can earn bonus points for use in the food pantry. Check out this month's classes below and sign up here!
You may only sign up for a max of 2 classes per month so that we have enough class spaces for everyone to attend a class. The exception to this is our long-term, multi-week classes, which do not count against this limit.
We expect all class participants to respect class facilitators and fellow classmates and to contribute to the conversations in meaningful ways. Our classes are a place for building friendships and growing personally. Those who do not respect these expectations may be asked to leave class, and pantry points or other rewards may be contingent on class participation.
