Volunteers will have approximately one half hour to meet with their Clinic co-leaders prior to students arriving. Although TEAK will have access to some equipment and a limited number of fields and performance spaces, we also strongly encourage volunteers to help connect us with the necessary equipment for up to 6 students, as well as appropriate facilities who may be willing to host us. Thank you!
Clinics in development include: Ballet, Basketball, Crew, Fencing, Field Hockey, Golf, Ice Hockey, Lacrosse, Modern Dance, Photography, Soccer, Squash, Tennis, Track & Field and Cross-Country, Video Editing, and Volleyball.
