The Collaboratory is a truly grassroots project.  Contractors have donated their services, companies have donated materials, community members have donated their labor, hundreds of individuals have given financially, and numerous people are beginning to volunteer in the programs we are starting to host.  If you’d like to volunteer or intern for the Collab, contact our co-director, John Helmiere at john@valleyandmountain.org
