Educator Workroom Volunteers

Save to Favorites

The RAFT Educator Workroom is a creative workspace equipped with various materials and tools to meet educators’ needs in creating resources for their classrooms. These materials and tools include a large collection of Ellison dies, paper cutters, laminators, and a computer with a printer. RAFT seeks volunteers to work with RAFT retail staff to help serve the Educator Workroom. This will serve as a critical part of helping RAFT support educators!
