RenLUG builds meaningful relationships with organizations across professional societies, education, community service, arts, and business — making our programs and exhibits possible throughout Central Florida.
Community partnerships are central to everything RenLUG does. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we believe that the most meaningful impact happens when organizations work together — sharing expertise, audiences, and resources to create experiences that none of us could deliver alone.
Our partnerships span engineering and STEM education, youth programs serving underserved communities, libraries and public venues, fellow AFOL groups across Florida, and a growing network of local businesses and creatives who share our love of craft, creativity, and community. These relationships make our programs possible, extend our reach across Central Florida, and deepen the impact of everything we build — literally and figuratively.
Each partnership is different. Some provide funding and STEM credibility. Some open doors to children who might never otherwise encounter hands-on LEGO® learning. Some give our members a stage to showcase their work. Others are fellow vendors and makers we see at events — people who show up for each other, promote each other, and make the community richer just by being part of it.
