Family Friendly Projects
All of the projects listed below require a parent or guardian present during the entire duration of the project. We require one adult for every four youth at a project. Once you have chosen a project to attend with your child, you must sign yourself up for the project through your HOBA account and then email goodforfamilies@hoba.org to reserve spots for your family. In the email please specify which project you will be attending and the date, along with the number of youth that will be joining you.
