What is the Maplewoodshop LMS?

Maplewoodshop uses Thinkific as its Learning Management System (LMS) to support program partners with the resources they need to implement with confidence.

The LMS serves as a central hub for lesson content, project support, safety training, tool-use guidance, and additional program materials. Access is provided to customers as part of qualifying Maplewoodshop program offerings.
