The Collective

The Collective is a skill development and learning program offered from Year Zero. It is a required program for all Grapevine, Year Zero Studios and Polar coop students. 

The Collective was piloted in Summer 2020 with 5 students, expanded in Fall 2020 to 15 students and was a highlight for most. The Winter 2021 group is expected to be 50 students.

 

The time commitment for students is 2-3 hours per week throughout the term, plus approx. 20 hours during their first week (The Collective Bootcamp, more below).
