Hire Us
Our mobile woodworking classes are available for hire! Our creative woodworking program for children ages 5+ is housed in renovated buses and trailers. Each classroom has individual adjustable workbenches equipped with hand tools, supplies, and materials: everything needed to create a multitude of woodworking projects. This program teaches children creative problem-solving and how to use tools safely, effectively, and (ultimately) independently of adult assistance. The buses and trailers go to schools, museums, community centers, and private events.
We can design a program that will fit your needs. We offer several ways to engage with the community, such as:
At Schools:
In-School (standards-based curriculum)
After-School Programming
Our school woodworking curriculum works best over multiple classes/weeks. We recommend 6 or more sessions to maximize the students’ experience.
Private Events:
Birthday parties
Groups and gatherings
Community Events
Headquarters Classes:
Afterschool Programs
Seasonal Intensives
Pricing:
Pricing is determined by the amount of time we spend with the students and how far we travel to your location. Our base rate is $500/hour, 2-hour minimum + mileage. We can serve 25 students at a time. Our pricing includes all of the following:
All materials: pine wood, hardware, etc
2 trained teaching artists
15 stations equipped with all of the hand tools needed
Projects for each student to take home
Example projects and visual aids
*Additional mileage cost is calculated based on the distance/time between your site and ours, along with factoring in insurance costs and the additional time it requires our staff to safely get to and from your destination.
Can’t afford the bus? Let’s work together on a grant. If you’re serious, email us, and let’s talk. We keep a wish list of schools we want to work with and work collaboratively to seek funding.
If you have questions, feel free to email our Program Coordinator, Madeline Aubry, at madeline@sidestreet.org or call (626) 798-7774
