Participants will meet at VAC’s Niaulani Campus in Volcano Village. Lunch break will occur from 12pm – 1pm. Due to social distancing measures, class size will be limited. Students must wear a CDC recommended face covering during class and are required to use the provided cleaning supplies after class.
