Sliding Scale Pricing:
At Rebuild, we believe everyone should have access to learning handy skills, no matter their financial situation. Our sliding scale pricing reflects our commitment to community care and recognizes that financial stability can vary for all of us. We dream of spaces for everyone to join in, share knowledge, and contribute to a more equitable environment. If all of these tiers are inaccessible to you please email Julian to be added to the list for any workshop.
We base much of our pricing off of the work done by Alexis J. Cunningfolk. Read more about The Sliding Scale: A Tool of Economic Justice. Her Green Bottle Sliding Scale Tool is very helpful in determining what tier is right for you.
