Mentor(s) work with the team to guide and advise them through the program. The masters and apprentices are supported with grant funding to participate in the program, which is intended to cover supplies needed for their work together. They also are supported with travel expenses to attend our workshops which occur in different areas of California. In 2024-25 the Program reached 14 Masters and 21 Apprentices, and supported 1 full-time and two part-time staff.
