Work Study
Thank you for your interest in The Kneading Conference work study program. Our hope is that as we pursue this new opportunity to host the annual conference virtually we are also able to offer the opportunity for work study to participate but in a new capacity. We are still working through exactly how a new work study program will look. Once we know more we will update our website and share on social media. Stay tuned!
