01
Community Education Series
Facilitated peer-education sessions where adults practice communication, personal boundaries, conflict resolution, emotional intelligence, and community responsibility. A trained host keeps the room structured and on purpose.
This is the educational backbone of LASC: scheduled, documented, and open to members and guests who have completed orientation.
-
02
Public Orientation
Open, public introductions at a local restaurant or café. The most accessible first step. Any adult 18 or older may attend. Participants purchase their own food and beverages. LASC does not charge a door fee.
Orientation is how new people meet hosts, hear the Code of Conduct, and decide whether to apply for membership. It is a required in-person step before member programs.
-
03
Member Programs
Scheduled gatherings for members and guests who have completed orientation and application review. Formats include community networking, peer-facilitated discussion, informal education, and mentorship.
These programs are hosted, not drop-in. Attendance is limited so the room stays workable and the Code of Conduct can be upheld.
-
04
Social Wellness Workshops
Recurring workshops that support adult social wellness: creative skill-sharing, peer-led demonstrations, facilitated discussion, and structured networking. Built for people who want skill and company — not isolation.
Instructors may be staff, trained volunteers, or outside presenters who apply through the presenter form.
-
05
Family Days
Family-centered gatherings: arts and crafts, outdoor games, youth enrichment, community meals, and cooperative activities. The purpose is intergenerational connection — parents, caregivers, and children in a supervised community setting.
Family Days are the youth-and-family line of the same education-first mission. Adult members remain responsible for minors in their care.
How to Participate
Public first. Membership when you are ready.
Start with Public Orientation. Then apply. Board review and a published Code of Conduct sit between guest attendance and full membership. There is no annual dues charge — you pay the program fee for the sessions you attend.
