Future University @ The Fold: Weekend 1
The Fold is launching a new Weekend program — and we need you.
Future University @ The Fold is a recurring series of classes, workshops, and mini salons hosted at The Fold (3359 26th Street, Mission District) on Saturday & Sunday August 22-23rd and August 29-30th. Think of it as a community-powered university for the future: a place where members and neighbors share skills, spark ideas, and learn together.
We're looking for people who want to teach, facilitate, or lead a session. No academic credentials required.

What We're Looking For
Saturday Campus sessions can take many forms:
Workshops — Hands-on, skill-based (2–3 hours). Build something, make something, learn a tool.
Classes — Structured learning over multiple weeks. Teach a subject you know deeply.
Mini Salons — Facilitated discussions or presentations (60–90 min). Bring a provocative question or a body of work to explore together.
Screenings + Discussions — Film, documentary, or media followed by group conversation.
Something else entirely — Pitch us your weird, wonderful idea.
Topics we're especially excited about:
Design, making, and creative tools
Cooperative economics and alternative governance
Urban ecology, food systems, and resilience
AI literacy and hands-on tech
Art, storytelling, and culture
Movement, embodiment, and wellness
Anything that helps people build a better future together

The space (classroom setup, lounge, or gallery depending on your needs)
AV equipment (projector, speakers, screen)
Promotion to our member network and community channels
