SOS: School for Off-Season Survival is our home for evening courses, weekend seminars, pop-ups, and peer-mentoring groups. We’ve lined up an exciting roster of classes taught by local instructors, with a focus on small business support, personal development and wellness, creative entrepreneurship, language skills and more.

What better way to develop a skill, dive deeper into an existing practice or build a new business than off-season on MV?! Watch this space and follow us on socials for schedule updates, instructor spotlights, course announcements and more!

Visit the Upcoming Courses page for more information about classes and workshops!
