Service Learning

Where are you working for your service learning?
I am working at The Glass House Concert Hal and The Glass House Record Store in Pomona


What is your contact?
I have a few different contacts, but the main one I am working with is my dad, Dennis Thorbourn.


The services I have performed to reach my 10 hour requirement are setting up for different live bands, soundchecks, shopping for the snack bar, observing the actual show, and taking everything down after the show. I've also helped out in The Glass House Record Store for a few hours. I've worked at 4 different shows with my dad, which usually last around 8 hours each.
