CostFree to apply
01 · You
Use one you actually check, not your school address if it expires at graduation.
02 · School or college
Month and year is fine — “May 2027.”
Who signs off on your hours or work-based learning.
We will not contact them without telling you first.
03 · What you need
Leave blank if this is not about a required hour count.
A date or a term. “End of spring semester” works.
04 · What you bring and what you want
No wrong answer. “None yet” is a completely fine place to start.
Be specific if you can. “I can model but my textures look flat” tells us more than “3D art.” 0/400
Optional, and genuinely optional — plenty of people start here with nothing to show.
05 · When you are free
A date or “right away.”
06 · Paperwork and ApprenticeshipNC
North Carolina requires a parent or guardian signature on apprenticeship paperwork for 16- and 17-year-olds.
Required for paid work at 16 and 17 in North Carolina. It is free and takes about ten minutes online — not having one yet is not a problem.
Apprenticeship coursework can qualify for a tuition waiver, so this matters.
Scheduling constraints, accommodations, a specific goal, anything. 0/500
▶ This is what gets sent _ 
Fill in the form above and your message will build itself here.
▶ Pick where you read your email _

Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo open a new tab with everything already written. “Mail app” only works if this device has one set up — on a desktop computer it often does nothing at all, which is why the other options are here.

If none of that works

Press Copy instead and paste it into a message to arcade01@lazrdojo.com, or call 336-502-9604 and we will take it over the phone. Nothing is submitted until you send it.

What happens next, and one honest note

We will reply within a week with what we can actually offer you right now. Service hours here are structured as student-led community work — running a free session for younger students, helping at a community showcase, building something the studio gives away — not unpaid labor for a business, because that is not legal and would not help you anyway. Apprenticeship placements are paid from day one and require you to be at least 16; we are working through ApprenticeshipNC registration and will tell you plainly where that stands when we reply.
