A gentle reminder about As You Like It Events: In order to fulfill one of our core goals of supporting sex educators, the majority of the registration fee goes directly to our facilitators to compensate them for their time, knowledge, and skills. The remainder goes to paying an employee to be on site setting up and breaking down, food costs if any, and marketing expenses. Eventually we hope to have a fully funded nonprofit side of As You Like It that can offer scholarships for events, but for now, we have to charge a fee for events like this. Thank you for understanding.
