Future Shed

Future Shed, part of Edventure, helps launch and grow green and healthy projects and enterprises by building networks, connecting like-minded individuals, and offering free training, coaching, and resources to turn ideas into action.

By supporting these initiatives, we’re creating opportunities for more people to join free, inclusive community-led groups that foster friendships and support a sustainable, affordable and healthy way of living.

We're harnessing the power of community, believing that when we make small changes together, they add up to something meaningful. Something powerful.

What a magical community event out in nature. Everyone there seemed to love it. Thank you!”

It was great, very sweet remarks - parents said they loved making things but never got the chance to.”

An amazing opportunity to learn and I really, really appreciate that. I’ve had a fun time and I feel like it’s given me some direction.”

This evening was really cool and I enjoyed the fact that a space I might feel uncomfortable in the dark, felt really safe and welcoming.”

Such a fun Event, great results. Enjoyed looking at tiny seeds through the microscope, thanks”
