Zero Waste Week is coming: October 11-18
This fall, the Sonoma Community Center is proud to partner with Zero Waste Sonoma to launch Zero Waste Week 2025 at the Center, a community-wide celebration featuring free and donation-based events, workshops, and activities that focus on building a more sustainable future.
The special programming to be offered at the Center includes “Serve Your ‘Fit,” a free six-week upcycling program for high school students and young adults, Tuesdays, September 23rd through October 28th. Students will flip thrifted finds into one-of-a-kind streetwear and runway-ready looks while learning basic mending, deconstruction, and design techniques.
Other free sustainability classes being offered to all ages include Dyeing with Kitchen Scraps on Saturday, October 11th, Compost Kraut: Fermentation as Food Waste Solution & Climate Action on Wednesday, October 15th, Upcycled T-Shirt Braided Rug Making on Thursday, October 16th, and PRINT LAB: DIY Upcycled Printed Patches on Friday, October 17th. Space is limited and classes may fill up quickly, so it is suggested that students register early.
