Making the Magic Happen

RAFT Sacramento is a new non-profit organization that fosters hands-on teaching as the best way for teachers to teach and students to learn in pre-school through 12th grade education and community programs. It builds on work done for more than a decade by the founding RAFT organization in Silicon Valley (www.raft.net)

Independent Research Study Shows that RAFT Hands-on Learning Activities Engage Students and Improve Academic Performance.

For Members

RAFT provides innovative project ideas, hands-on learning materials, professional development and teaching support to pre-K-12 classroom and after- school teachers, child care providers, and nonprofit community service groups. Join RAFT and help transform the learning experience!

 

For Volunteers

Volunteers make everything possible: Organize and sort donated materials, assemble hands-on learning kits, provide support at special events, and serve as RAFT community ambassadors. Join in — it's fun and rewarding!

For Financial Donors

Research shows that children learn best in an interactive, hands-on way. Transforming abstract concepts into engaging projects and teaching activities during and after school requires financial support. Help make a difference to young learners!

For Material Donors

Everything you donate is used to help children learn. RAFT repurposes your items - and they become part of science, math or art activities. Find out how RAFT makes it easy to "go green" and support 21st Century learning.
