a band

The other day I had the idea of approaching afterschool/working with kids the way people approach being in a band. Like a group of people doing something to affect a group of people in some way.  And then instead of a music the product is what the kids do. The kids are like the audience and the performance at the same time. 

I think it helps frame the job as a creative endeavor and that what happens is worth sharing and that if you do a good job you can create something that hasn't really been done before. It's not just about doing a job or surviving or mitigating disaster.
