Program Description

Event Description

Join our monthly club of passionate teens making a difference for the planet! Through hands-on projects, workshops, and speakers, the Teen Sustainability Club will explore environmental issues, take action in the community, and create innovative solutions for a sustainable future. Let's work together for a greener tomorrow! Participants will earn one hour of community service credit at each meeting. 

For this session of the TSC, we'll be joined by Tia Meilinger, inspirational entrepreneur and owner of Vaya Bags. Tia will teach our club a hands-on demonstration of how to make some of the sustainable accessories from her shop.  We'll learn her process of procuring recycled bicycle tubing, scrap sailboat awnings and old banners which are all discarded from local shops and how she turned upcycling and recycling into a successful business.
