OUR PROGRAMS
MAKERS MARKET
Our in-house Makers Market Program provides a space for teens and young adult entrepreneurs to showcase and sell their art pieces. From hand-crafted jewelry to paintings to personalized shoes and crocheted items, this program encourages young makers to be creative and confident in their work.
We offer no-cost programs that teens and young adults ages 13-24 can explore. Young people have opportunity to learn business, entrepreneurial, and creative skills through our programs.
REPURPOSE / CREATE WORKSHOPS
Our Repurpose/Create Workshops are led and attended by teens and young adults. Through the use of paints, sewing machines, and a variety of tools, participants can repurpose, upcycle, and create new designs from reused textiles and other materials. We offer both instructed workshops and self-led open studios, as well as select workshops open to adults in the community.
WORK & VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS
TAGS offers teens and young adults the opportunity to gain hands-on experience working in our thrift store as a volunteer or staff member. Through this program, young people learn the fundamentals of building and running a small, community-centered business while developing confidence and real-world skills.
We accept volunteers of all ages who are interested in supporting our mission and being part of our creative community. TAGS is also currently hiring a Part-Time Thrift Store Customer Service Associate.
SELLERS MARKET
Teens and young adults display and sell select, secondhand items they have curated. Through this program, young entrepreneurs are provided support and resources in developing their own small businesses.

Sponsors play a vital role in empowering the next generation of creators and leaders.
