Strawtown Studio is a 20+ year Garnerville-based nonprofit that connects Hudson Valley youth with nature through innovative art and science programming. Operating across Rockland County (Nyack, Sleepy Hollow, West Haverstraw, Hudson River locations), Strawtown Studio aligns with partners aiming to increase member engagement, expand Hudson Valley operations, and support local programs through donation services.
Strategic Fits: Educator training programs, volunteer opportunities, sponsorship potential (1–2 quarterly), and audience-first community workshop collaborations in the Hudson Valley region.
