Our Mission & Vision

Envision a collaborative space shaped by the collective vision of the community – a place built for the community, by the community so that everyone can tap into their innate abilities as makers.

Our Mission is to create a community Makerspace in the Greater Compton Area, with equal access to tools, workshops, technology, and resources to inspire creativity, facilitate lifelong learning, and provide inclusive and equitable opportunities for all.

After spending significant time in the community, we’ve determined the first component of our makerspace in Compton will be a Tool Lending Library. 

The long-term goal of The Makers Hub is to create replicable models of makerspace development that can be implemented in other communities, transforming them through the talents of the people who live there.

Our Values

Respect

We maintain an environment built on respect - of the community, of the individual, of each other. We value everyone and vow to treat all people with dignity, courtesy, and respect.

Community

We are reflective of the diverse community we serve. Our needs are their needs, and our development echoes the community's voice.

Passion

Our passion is the energy that keeps us going. Everyone at The Makers Hub puts their heart into their work and is equally engaged in evoking passion within the communities we serve.

Inclusivity

We affirm the dignity of all people, acknowledging the biases and injustices (both historic and current) that permeate all aspects of our society. We strive to ensure that every person we interact with feels supported.

Collaboration

It is our strong belief that we build stronger communities, together. We are open to sharing knowledge, skills, and expertise because we believe this is critical to fostering growth and development. We can all learn from one another as long as we are open to it.

Integrity

We operate ethically and transparently. Our performance is driven by our commitment to act in good faith in everything we do. We are deeply connected to the communities we serve and work every day to operate in a manner that exceeds expectations.
