Board of Directors Application

Our mission is to inspire creative reuse and environmentally sustainable behavior by providing educational programs and affordable materials to communities.

A bit of history

SCRAP was founded in Portland, Oregon in 1998. A group of teachers couldn’t bear to throw away usable art materials and supplies left over from school projects. Instead, they transported these materials to A Teacher’s Space, a resource center for educators in the Portland area. Other teachers began bringing in materials that they no longer needed in their classrooms, and the idea caught on like wildfire.

In 1999, SCRAP achieved 501(c)(3) nonprofit status – and with the help of a sizeable grant from the Department of Environmental Quality – SCRAP was born.

SCRAP now has locations Ann Arbor, Michigan; Arcata, California; Baltimore, Maryland; Denton, Texas; Portland, Oregon; and Richmond, Virginia. There are plans in the works for other locations in the near future.
