Our 7 Core Beliefs

We are what we believe in!

1) Community matters

It’s what holds us together—but the places where community happens are disappearing. We want to create new ones and strengthen old places.

2) Making things is fun work

Creativity is a fundamental human force that connects us to who we are. When we make things, we’re being our best selves.

3) Junk is just raw material waiting for an idea

You’d be amazed what we can do with a pile of stuff that’s headed for the landfill.

4) Every community has strengths, assets, and resources

We love discovering these resources and creating a venue for the sharing of skills, knowledge, tools, and ideas. Projects move forward and our communities grow stronger.

5) Sharing things with others makes people happier

Sharing food, music, tools, materials and knowledge makes us all feel better about ourselves and our world. We’re never happier than when we’re sharing our gifts.

6) People who feel valued contribute more

We love watching what happens when a person is given a welder, an engaging project, new friends, and enthusiastic support. This is sheer magic, and it’s what gets us out of bed in the morning.

7) Getting dirty is liberating

Most of our best times involved dirt, dust, paint, glue and some kind of unidentified gunk (respirators where appropriate). We make a mess to make things functional and beautiful.
