Kizuna’s programs and workshops are our bread and butter - it’s how we are able to effectively educate our participants in a way that’s both compelling and memorable. At the Dinner, guests will have the opportunity to get a taste of how curriculum is developed, lessons are taught, and the kind of fun our program participants experience!
