About US: Crayon Collection
Our goal is to ensure that every vulnerable child around the world has access to crayons and art education.
OUR MISSION
The Crayon Collection mission is to inspire a commitment to environmental consciousness and the infusion of art education in underfunded schools.
A message from our founder
Having access to a crayon may seem natural but many of the children we work with have never owned even one crayon. By shifting the wasteful behavior of tossing still good crayons we are able to provide millions of crayons + our art education program to the most underserved schools in the United States and beyond our borders. I am determined to ensure that every child around the world has access to crayons and creativity despite their socio-economic position. We hope you enjoy taking a few moments to learn about our work and consider participating in this initiative in your community.
Our Story
See the story of how Crayon Collection got started almost ten years ago by upcycling gently-used crayons, saving them from landfills and getting them into the hands of children across the country and beyond.
We’ve effected a lot of change since 2009 and today, Crayon Collection is taking crayons, artists, art education and sustainability practices into preschools and elementary schools worldwide.
