On July 26, my group and I pitched our concept of the Community Connections Creative Space (CCCS) to be established at the Proximity Space coworking space of Montrose, Colorado. The CCCS will be a collaborative workspace open to local businesses and students to build community relationships with one another, and help high school students transition into and experience the workforce through student internships and job opportunities. The space will be equipped with the necessary tools and resources to be able to work on jobs concerning graphic design, photography, video production, and audio production. This started as an in-class learning project during the fall semester of my senior year of high school that we presented to a panel who saw its potential, and gave us the opportunity to work on it over this summer and take steps towards making it a reality.
