A non-profit organization that believes hands-on teaching is the best way for teachers to teach and students to learn. We provide creative hands-on activities, educational resources, workshops and inexpensive materials, (many donated by local businesses), to enrich pre K-12 education and community group programs. Our goal is to assist teachers, non-profits and community groups, by providing materials and ideas for day-to-day teaching and for supporting professional growth.
RAFT relies on over 500 volunteers a month to sort, process, and assemble our 55,000 educational activity kits each year! Shifts are 3-4 hours and take place Tuesday – Saturday.
