About the Agency
The Agency is a paid work experience that provides youth with the opportunity to grow and further develop skills learned in previous programs. By completing small-batch projects for local businesses and nonprofits, youth learn essential job skills to succeed in real-world industries.
Previous Projects
The Agency has completed projects for the ABAE, the City of Eugene, the Eugene Education Foundation, Eugene Symphony, EWEB, Food for Lane County, Microsoft MakeCode, and Threadbare Print House, just to name a few!
Laser Engraving
There are many possibilities for laser engraving! Some recent examples include tokens for the Arts and Business Alliance of Eugene, race medallions for the Eugene Education Foundation, and cutting board awards for Food for Lane County.
CNC Milling
The Agency was approached by Microsoft MakeCode to create the schematics and instructions to CNC Mill the pieces to create a game console cabinet.
3D Modeling
Agency youth worked with a local client in need of custom-designed orchid pots. They went through the engineering design process by interviewing the client to establish needs for the project, then used 3D modeling to design and iterate more functional pots.
