Programs
Afterschool
Our mentorship programs offer a unique opportunity for the youth of Cape Ann to come and learn the craft of woodworking while creating meaningful relationships with peers and mentors. We believe that hands-on experience in the woodshop provides the opportunity to learn skills that are not taught in a traditional educational setting. Building something new and creating something beautiful instills not only a sense of confidence and accomplishment, but it also creates a platform to learn how to problem solve, be mindful of the details and practice resilience when a project doesn’t go as planned. Our hope is that the tangible skills learned and opportunities for growth will empower participants to fully engage in the world around them with confidence and integrity.
Our after school mentorship programs are co-ed and offered to teens, ages 13-seniors in high school.
Sessions are 4-months long, with classes held once a week
Classes are offered in two groups, meeting on Tuesdays or Thursdays. Participants will be grouped with similar aged peers.
Woodworking has taught me so many valuable life skills such as patience, paying attention to the little details, problem solving and how to think creatively when things don’t go according to plan.
