Young Explorers is grateful to be part of a community filled with schools, organizations, and families doing meaningful work. We’re often asked to support events, fundraisers, and initiatives, and we truly appreciate being thought of.

As a small, family-run shop and creative space, we receive more requests than we’re able to fulfill individually. To keep our giving thoughtful and sustainable, we focus on a few meaningful ways to give back each year.

School Partnerships

Each year, we select two local schools or educational programs to support through financial contributions in the upcoming school year.

We look for partnerships that grow through shared engagement — collaborating throughout the year, participating in community initiatives, and helping build connections between families and local businesses.

Schools interested in being considered may submit a request through the form below by June 15.
Partner schools are selected at the end of June and contacted directly.

Additional Support

  • In-Kind Support

    Throughout the year, we periodically contribute experience-based gifts — such as classes or creative workshops — to support local fundraisers, auctions, and community events.

    Requests may be submitted using the form below and are reviewed periodically by our team.

  • Community Collaborations

    We also love building ongoing relationships with local schools and businesses. If you’re interested in partnering with us, we’re always happy to explore give-back collaborations, where families connected to your organization receive a special offer and a portion is returned to support your community.

Sponsorship Application

Because we receive many requests, we aren’t able to accommodate requests outside of this process. We sincerely appreciate you thinking of us and the work you are doing in our community.
