As discussed above, we strive to make the program as affordable as possible by offering it as a monthly subscription instead of requiring people to pay half or more up front. And when even the subscription price is out of reach, we work with as many people as possible through a work-study program to lower their monthly costs. We do ask that people pay as much as they can afford, since there are a finite number of work-study options we can provide, and we want to help as many students as possible. But for the most part, if you really need help, we will work with you.
We also provide resources in multiple modalities to accommodate learning disabilities, neurodiversities, traumatic learning histories, and health considerations. We’re always looking for ways to improve this as well, so we’re open to requests and suggestions from students!
Finally, we strive to make the program a safe space for people of all backgrounds, which we do in a variety of ways. We are exploring avenues to offer BIPOC scholarships. We have a module in the program orientation on language use for inclusivity. We ask for and respect everyone’s pronouns. We actively practice removing gendered language from our speech. And we are open to correction and instruction.
