PHASE I

Help Bring Second Make to Life
A Grassroots Creative Reuse Center for Our Community

💡 THE VISION & MISSION

Second Make is a community-driven reuse center and creative space that turns discarded materials into opportunity, education, and affordable access to art for everyone.

🌎 THE PROBLEM

Every day:

• Usable materials are thrown away.

• Creative education becomes less accessible.

• Communities lose space to gather, learn, and make

At the same time:

• The cost of supplies continues to rise.

• People want to create—but can’t afford to

• Perfectly reusable materials go unused.

✨ THE SOLUTION

Second Make transforms waste into creative resources.

We will:

• Collect and redistribute reusable materials.

• Offer low-cost creative supplies to the community.

• Provide hands-on classes and workshops.

• Create a welcoming, grassroots space for people to connect and make.

This is not just a space—it’s a movement built by the community, for the community.

📍 LOCAL IMPACT (DAYTONA BEACH / VOLUSIA COUNTY)

• Serving Daytona Beach area (site location in progress, working with the city)

• Accessible to surrounding Volusia County communities.

💛 WHY THIS MATTERS

This project is:

• Grassroots

• People-powered

• Built from 30+ years of creative experience and teaching.

It creates:

• Access where there wasn’t any.

• Value from what was discarded.

• A place where people feel inspired, capable, and connected.

Upcycle Donations Center & Store

We will accept donations of clean, usable materials that would otherwise end up being thrown away. We will organize these into a shop so that the community, teachers, artists and those who might have use of them can purchase them for use.

Education

We have plans for a vibrant and varied educational program that includes affordable classes, utilizes upcycling of materials and reuse, promotes creative expression and serves as a location for every type of art and creativity.

Community

Our programs and our center are designed to create an inspired space for many groups to connect and meet.
