Give Youth the Chance to Create
Every child deserves the chance to create, experiment, and discover their potential. But access to STEAM programing, arts education, and hands-on learning is unequal. Many families in underserved communities have limited access to these opportunities, and can't explore their full creative abilities. Your support helps change that. By supporting Rediscover, you help provide youth with the skills and confidence to create through accessible camps, school programs, workshops, and community events. Today, Rediscover brings accessible making to 15,000 youth ages 5-25 each year. Since its founding in 2004, Rediscover has relied on a mix of program fees and gifts from supporters to fund our educational, artistic, and environmental programming.
What your giving makes possible:
- Provides financial aid so more youth can participate in camps, classes, and workshops.
- Brings maker education to schools and communities that may not have the resources
- Provides tools and recycled materials that allow kids to turn their ideas into reality
- Create welcoming makerspaces and classrooms where kids can learn through play
- Expands access to underserved communities at 80+ local festivals each year
- Turns recycled materials into art, while teaching youth greater environmental awareness
Your support will help raise the next generation of creative Angelenos!

How Your Gift Supports Low-Income Youth
When you give to Rediscover, your donations support hands-on maker education for low income, foster, and homeless youth. Our Financial Aid program provides 100+ youth per year with a camp session and/or semester of tinkering classes. Rediscover's programs provide project-based STEAM education at the Rediscover Center and across Los Angeles. Rediscover empowers youth, teaches creativity, and supports a lifetime of making. One child who's life has been transformed by Rediscover is LaFrance, a young girl who had been lost in a complex foster situation. Through her time at Rediscover's Tinkering Camps, she found a stable and supportive environment, made personal connections with peers and facilitators, and blossomed as a woodworker and inventor. With your support, we can engage more underserved youth in Los Angeles and expand to new service areas across Los Angeles County.
