How it works

More than a gift shop

The CES store is a working business run by young people. Here's what happens when you buy something.

01

A young person makes it

In the makerspace, the sewing room, or the garden, from an idea they had and a skill they learned at CES.

02

They price it and tag it

Costing, margins, branding, and the tag with the price on it. The business lesson is built into the product.

03

You take it home

Your purchase pays the maker and goes back into materials, mentoring, and the next young maker.

Where your money goes

Every purchase pays a young person.

Sales go back to the makers and fund CES programs for youth in Franklin County.
