The DC Collaborative team wishes you a Happy Thanksgiving! We are thankful for the inspiring education programming in the arts and humanities that is taking place city-wide and positively impacting the education of our students. Most of all, we are thankful for the educators who work within their schools to ensure that students have access to these opportunities.
Before you go on holiday break there are some opportunities for you and your students.

AFES Experience Surveys! Please give us feedback to help us improve our programs.
