SURE WE CAN WORKS WITH STUDENTS FROM KINDERGARTEN TO GRADUATE SCHOOL TO SPREAD AWARENESS OF OUR MISSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP AND SOCIAL INCLUSION.

We work with local schools and after-school programs to host tours about recycling and sustainability, and coordinate volunteer days for students and community members who would like hands-on experience. As a working redemption center, visitors can see recycling activities in progress.

Many college and graduate students have taken interest in Sure We Can and have focused their research on it. We’re so proud and impressed by the wonderful work we’ve seen from these students!
