Driven by the creativity and leadership of young people, this is a hands-on program that introduces youth to the art of woodworking while providing valuable career and post-secondary skills. By working with wood, participants develop practical skills and problem-solving abilities while engaging with one another and learning from peers. This program introduces basic and advanced power tool usage, material prep and finishing, elements of design engineering, and all the safety standards needed to work independently and safely in a woodshop setting. Participants also work individually and in groups to create pieces for themselves, gifts for loved ones, or community activation art pieces.
