Makersville Services

Thank you for helping our grassroots people and grassroots organization!

FRAMEWORK OF SUPPORT

We provide a framework of support for social enterprises, artists, Makers and people with ideas. We help individuals get started along their path by including their goals in ours. We are working to create two apprenticeships  in 2025. #1/ Makerspace Coach and #2/ International Event Manager.  Our apprenticeships will provide us with a way to train youth in STEAM education and support for artists, and create events to bring individuals to Long Beach.

We have two feeder volunteer programs for those apprenticeships. International Friendship Ambassador and Makerspace Ambassador.

The International Friendship Ambassador program teaches grantwriting, proposal development, grant management and international cultures. It connects youth aged 14-26 and those who support them with the Sister Cities of Long Beach, starting with the Long Beach - Qingdao Association.

The Makerspace Ambassador program teaches similar skills but is focused on skills development and handmade products.

SIDEWALK SPACES

For all our programs, our core program is Sidewalk Spaces, which brings activities in place to communities. We have executed Sidewalk Spaces in downtown Long Beach, and at an event at Long Beach City College. We support our economically and racially diverse community through the provision of resources and person-power to execute classes and events, to prototype products, to market them.
