There is no better way to be connected with the Tea Time network than to start a chapter of your own.

While our online communities provide insight into news, announcements, and info on the go, there is much to be said for the importance of face-to-face interactions. Tea Time is about looking for ways to enrich your education that are not strictly focused on your reel.

The concept is pretty simple — once a week, invite your peers together to sip hot beverages and chat about animation, but in practice, starting your own chapter gives you the opportunity to develop important soft skills such as:

Giving and receiving critique
Public Speaking
Working Collaboratively
Communication

Depending on your time and resources, you could also be learning about event planning, managing a budget, leading a team, and working directly with industry professionals in order to organize guest lectures.

Tea Time is a not-for-profit, volunteer-based organization — we’re truly only here to help support you in your endeavor to make the leap from student to professional. That means we have no member fees AKA starting a chapter of your own is entirely free.

Only you know what your community needs.
To pick up your starter kit or to learn more about starting your own Tea Time chapter, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
