 Why Attend the Radical Reuse Festival & Artisan Fair? 
 

Every purchase you make supports more than just sustainability and creativity — it directly invests in local workforce development and education.

 

Through our paid Summer Internship in Circular Construction, Second Story Builders is training the next generation of green builders and craftspeople. These young individuals gain hands-on experience in deconstruction and transforming reclaimed materials into functional and beautiful objects.

 

The festival is their moment to showcase and sell their work, celebrating their hard-earned skills and contributions to the community.
