We have not had a problem with labor disputes or unknown level of teacher involvement. We were asked to remove our materials and equipment so that the space could be re-purposed and was left homeless in spring of 2011.

Since spring 2011 we now work in a former retail store inside a local mall. In running the program outside of the school we have had to carry our own liability insurance and have had to add workshops to train the students on emergency situations that could occur outside of the school as well as how to be safe when arriving and leaving the work sessions. We still remain connected to our school system by having a teacher and being a club with a student activties account.
