Mixxer’s mission is to grow a creative community that provides equitable access to tech, tools, and knowledge regardless of experience or background.

A community where anyone has the opportunity to make anything.

• Sharing. By sharing resources and knowledge, together we create mutual and enduring value for our community. 

• Community Asset. Be a vital contributor to socioeconomic progress in our community.

• Creativity. Empower individuals and each other to create aha-moments.

Mixxer Community Makerspace does not endorse the subject matter or messages of specific artwork or crafts. In order to maintain a safe and inclusive community environment, we explicitly condemn content that promotes violence or hatred against individuals or groups based on any of the following attributes: race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, sexual orientation, or gender identity. 

We are committed to embracing diversity and fostering inclusivity, valuing the uniqueness and individuality of each person.  It is a community where individuals can connect, learn, and grow together. We are committed to creating a space where diversity is celebrated, equity is promoted, and inclusion is valued. 

Mixxer Community Makerspace seeks to recruit and retain a diverse workforce and encourages qualified candidates across all group demographics to apply. Mixxer Community Makerspace is committed to providing access and reasonable accommodation in employment for individuals with disabilities. 

At Mixxer, we strive to level the playing field for learners by providing access to the tools, technology and knowledge they seek. We believe that with this access they can build more meaningful lives, pursue rewarding careers, and strengthen their communities. We are committed to giving everyone in the community the opportunity to reach their full potential.
