Two and a half hours in the San Jose warehouse, and the kits you pack leave for classrooms within weeks. Individuals and groups are both welcome, Tuesday through Sunday.
Building kits and camp materials to spec, so a teacher can open the box and start.
Processing incoming donated surplus into the right quantities for the right activity. A lot of counting to 100.
Turning bulk material into components. A few of these jobs use minor power tools, and those are taught and supervised.
Getting resources onto the shelves educators shop from.
Working alongside educators while they make what they need for their classrooms.
Pick a date, put your name down, and turn up. There is nothing else to arrange.
About thirty spots a shift. Popular dates go, so booking ahead is the safe move.
Two shifts a day: 9:30 to noon and 1:00 to 3:30. Staying for both means a break from noon to one.
Children 12-13 years old will need to be accompanied by an adult. Youth permission forms are sent through email after registering for a shift.
RAFT staff can approve hours for community service. Say so when you arrive.
Both work the same production run. The only difference is how you book it.
Drop in for one shift or come back on a regular schedule. Pick a date on the calendar and that is the whole process.
Teams work a live production run, so the output is countable and reportable. Write to us and we will find you a date and send the guidelines.
Choose a date below and put your name down. If you are under 18, a permission form arrives by email once you have signed up.
Come in closed-toe shoes and arrive on time: we cannot start anyone more than fifteen minutes late. If you would rather look around before committing to a shift, come and see us first.
