Zeb Pike Boys will be seen all weekend helping to keep the park clean, setting up tents and taking down Festival equipment. Zeb Pike Krafts is a student-run business featuring hand crafted pens and pencils. These items are made from natural woods or acrylics and are hand turned on a lathe. Students participate in the manufacturing process while learning small business operations and support the students in their restorative justice. In additon to funding the students own restitution, 15% of the proceeds are used to reinvest in the business and 15% is allocated to assist in the cost of the GED testing. As an incentive and display of hard work, top workers receive a salary. This program is designed to gain work experience, business management skills, and most importantly to support the Restorative Community Justice Program.
We give back to the community one step at a time!
