What You Need to Start a Team

A shop/organization that:

• Makes a yearly commitment to the program
• Provides a safe, comfortable classroom setting
• Has a shelf/cupboard to store machines, tool caddies, project donations, etc.
• Wall space for a promotional banner and/or a table with information, applications and mailing list

Volunteers:

• Core set of organizers
• One person to synchronize organization shop events with STM events
• Mentors (need to be recruited)

Donations:

• Pre-cut and package kits
• Items for gift-basket fundraisers
• Sewing machines
• Fabric
• Cash contributions

STM is designed to not be too taxing on the owners and employees of a shop or organization

As we developed the program we learned that if a number of people all did a little bit, we could provide free sewing lessons to a lot of students.
