Mission
REDISCOVER WAS FOUNDED IN 2002 AND INCORPORATED IN 2004 TO IMPROVE CHILDREN'S ART EDUCATION BY USING RECYCLED MATERIALS. REDISCOVER HAS OPERATED THE REDISCOVER CENTER IN VENICE, A 3,000 SF PUBLIC YOUTH MAKERSPACE. MAKERSPACES ARE SHARED FACILITIES STOCKED WITH TOOLS AND MATERIALS WHERE PARTICIPANTS CAN LEARN, MAKE, AND SHARE THEIR PROJECTS AND EXPERTISE. WE PROVIDE MAKERSPACE SERVICES AND HANDS-ON STEAM CLASSES, CAMPS, FIELD TRIPS, EXHIBITS, FESTIVAL ACTIVITIES, AND DISTANCE LEARNING RESOURCES. THESE PROGRAMS SERVE K-8 STUDENTS THROUGH SCHOOL PROGRAMS, YOUTH AGES 5-15 THROUGH WORKSHOPS AND PROGRAMS AT OUR MAKERSPACE, AND YOUTH AND ADULTS IN COMMUNITY PROGRAMS SUCH AS CARDBOARD CITY AND FREE ART ACTIVITIES AT FARMERS MARKETS.
Activities or mission (Part I)
REDISCOVER'S MISSION IS TO PROVIDE MAKERS WITH THE TOOLS, RESOURCES, AND CONFIDENCE TO ENGAGE IN CREATIVE REUSE AND SELF-EXPRESSION. WE EDUCATE YOUTH OF ALL LEVELS OF EXPERTISE IN TRANSFORMING DISCARDED MATERIALS INTO ART, FUNCTIONAL OBJECTS, AND TOOLS FOR LEARNING. WE SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER AS HANDS-ON CREATORS, PROBLEM-SOLVERS, COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, AND STEWARDS OF THE EARTH.

REDISCOVER CENTER DIVERTED MATERIALS FROM LANDFILLS WHILE EDUCATING BUSINESSES ABOUT CREATIVELY REUSING THEIR EXCESS MATERIALS AND INCORPORATING THEM INTO ART, TINKERING AND OTHER CURRICULAR USES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
