Volunteers are the backbone of the forge. By giving time and energy to help with training, events, and shop upkeep, volunteers directly support the mission of accessible making for all. In return, they earn credits, gain experience across disciplines, and enjoy the satisfaction of seeing their efforts empower students, teachers, and members. Volunteering is more than service — it’s a way to belong, contribute, and grow.
We’re more than a workshop — we’re a nonprofit dedicated to learning, making, and sharing. Here you’ll find our guiding philosophy, a tour of the space, an overview of the programs we run, and the plan that ensures our mission thrives for years to come.
