SCRAP education programs teach the concepts and benefits of creative reuse with goals of sustainable behavior change; combining waste reduction, art and environmental education, and creative wellness.
Our Organizational Focuses are:
Our Goals include enriching communities with creative reuse opportunities for individuals, families, schools, and communities to enrich and preserve sustainable cultural values and environmental lifeways. Inspiring behavior change with educational and creative opportunities for people and communities to inspire reuse and change behaviors to be more caring, resourceful, and sustainable. And providing unique and accessible programs that are focused on integrating the values of creative reuse into everyday activities and supporting creative and accessible educational opportunities.
These Field Guides can direct you towards different focal points of understanding in our Education Programs that can be adapted depending on the preferred lens:
For unique creative reuse education opportunities, we have developed virtual alternatives for many of our key educational programs.
Virtual Education programs include materials from SCRAP and virtual instruction from our educators.
We can tailor our programming and adapt our creative reuse activities for a variety of age groups, school settings, home activities, and skill levels.
We offer Private Events, SCRAP at School, and Teacher Training opportunities.
