GAF Unveils New Expanded Learning Center in Shafter, California

GAF, in partnership with the City of Shafter and Project for Public Spaces (PPS), hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the official opening of the Shafter Learning Center’s new expanded learning area in Shafter, California. Following the ribbon cutting, members of the community joined in on a celebration event where they explored the expanded facilities, signed up for classes and enjoyed fun and engaging activities.

GAF, a proud member and employer in the Shafter community for more than a decade, as well as the team from PPS and City of Shafter, worked closely with education specialists and community residents to determine the best use of the space. The result is a new learning area that includes additional classroom and meeting space, a new children’s library where families can relax and read together, and a new, colorful pavement area using StreetBond  that expands the usable outdoor space.

The expansion project is part of GAF’s social impact initiative, GAF Community Matters, which is focused on making a positive difference as neighbors and partners in the community by leveraging roofing expertise, resources and products to help build resilient communities.
