Planning your participation
When the program runs.
ESCO schedules HOBSCOTCH sessions from September through November and January through May.
Because the program requires an eight-week commitment, it does not run during July and August.
Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis as sessions become available. Contact Carly to confirm current availability and the next opportunity to participate.
