In cooperation with the Hennepin County Community Corrections Department, CREATE, Inc. offers a day long, cognitive skills, class designed for the first time DWI offenders. This class will be an intensive eight-hour session followed by a presentation by the Minnesotans for Safe Driving. To enroll, your judge or probation officier will direct you on the "how to" using the Hennipin County appointment system. CREATE does not enroll you. We strongly urge you to bring your enrollment receipt or confirmation to the class and arrive by 7AM.
Participants will be assigned to our class, which is held the first Saturday of the month (which began July 2007).
