ReDiscover is a non-profit, community resource that promotes creativity in early childhood and elementary education while encouraging environmental responsibility. We recycle everyday discards donated by businesses, such as plastic, fabric, wire, wood, metal, glass, and more and give them new purpose as hands-on learning materials.

Thanks for making our first year of elementary school programs a success. More than 600 students came to the Center and worked together on ideas to improve the community. In 2007-08 we've also added an artist residency program that can come to your school.
