Sacramento Costumers
The Sacramento Costumers group is a zero waste Cooperative workspace with an educational focus. We currently offer memberships, youth and adult workshops and our next generation designers program. This program is tailored for youth to learn how to design and make their own enterprises. We are the costumer to SacOpera. Ask us about our internships; we provide guided work experience course through Sacramento Community College.
