<p>As part of this class, we invite you to create a place to learn together with other people. We call these places Hubs.</p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Creating a Hub is actually quite simple. A Hub is any space where <em>Just Money</em> participants gather together to engage in dialogue and reflective exercises in relation to the course content. Though not a required element, Hubs greatly enhance the online part of the course with a place-based, in-person component. </span></p>

However, COVID-19 represents a challenge to us all, since the recommended social distancing rules prevent us from personally engaging with others. As a result, we are restructuring Hubs so that they can be run online. We hope that you find this guide useful as we all adapt to this new situation.</span></span><span style="color: #3b454e;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
