By processing 200+ tons of donated materials and supplies each year, SCRAP is able to divert resources from landfills and instead provide them to under-resourced nonprofits, Bayview families, environmental artists, and classrooms in need. SCRAP’s core programs are as follows:

I. Arts Education Outreach
“SCRAP in a Box” (serving K-5 grades) and “Sustainable Fashion Design” (serving 6-12 grades) are arts education initiatives connecting under-resourced San Francisco youth with high quality arts education in OST settings. SCRAP employs ten teaching artists from the local community and reaches 1,000 students 30 weeks a year through partnerships with community service providers like YMCA, Boys & Girls Clubs and many more.

II. The DEPOT
The DEPOT is SCRAP’s “resale” warehouse where the public donates materials and can purchase donated materials at a deeply discounted cost. The DEPOT processes 30,000 material transactions a year, hosts monthly community workshops and is the setting for school field trips. It is SCRAP’s hub serving as an inspirational space where recyclables are organized and staged to demonstrate the creative potential of used and everyday materials for the arts.

III. COMMUNITY ART WORKSHOPS
SCRAP facilitates low-cost art workshops three times per month for our community. These workshops focus on techniques and methods that utilize recycled or gently used materials, and elevate and support underrepresented artists in our community.

IV.TEACHER SUPPORT PROGRAMS (Free Teacher Workshops/ Bi Annual Give Away)
SCRAP offers monthly free one-hour workshops to public school teachers from an artist, teacher, or education consultant. Attendees are given a $25 to get supplies for their classrooms. We also have a free give-away for teachers twice yearly with almost 400 teachers in attendance to enable teachers to bring art into the classroom. Lastly, we provide public schools with free field trips, hosting 950 students annually.
