Cloud 9 Workshop strives to be a positive force in our community; Locally, Regionally and Globally.
Local Project:
Cloud 9 Crafting to Warm Hearts! – Toddlers and Kids on a Mission Partners with Cloud 9 Workshop
This holiday season C9W welcomes TOAM to the studio to help make create colorful collaged lanterns to warm the hearts of those in a long term care facility during the holiday. Toddlers and Kids on a Mission, TOAM, is a local nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering children of all ages to work with their caregivers to build relationships and strengthen the Milwaukee community through partnerships and service experiences in an inclusive environment. We hope this project at Cloud 9 Workshop is the first of many to come. Thank you TOAM!

Global Project: The Power of the Sun – Solar Cooking in the Congo
This past summer C9W purchased a solar oven, pots, pans and purification devices for use in a remote village in Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. After a month of teaching, learning and experimenting in Wisconsin, the oven traveled to its destination with the hopes of a successful year-long experiment in solar cooking. This project was done in conjunction with the work of CAFÉ, Congolese American Foundation for Education. CAFÉ is a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring a war-torn nation through education. www.cafeschools.org/
