Why Become a Touch a Trade Presenter?
Communities all across America have a problem. As tradespeople are retiring and fewer youth are entering the trades, contractors and homeowners are facing a shortage of skills and experience. Now is the time for communities to mobilize to ensure the transfer of knowledge to the next generation.
Touch a Trade is an initiative designed to address this problem by sparking the individual’s interest in working with their hands.
The event will offer youth and adults alike the opportunity to safely participate in trades, crafts, and self-sufficiency skills with their own hands.
Planned activities include carpentry, woodworking, masonry, welding, plumbing, electrical wiring and planting a garden.
As a presenter, we will work with you to design a safe and interactive presentation that will give visitors an opportunity to experience your trade or craft hands on. The experience should include:
Using tools
Using one’s own hands
Making or fixing something
If you would like to join us in making the trades matter to the next generation, please join us as a presenter at the Touch a Trade event.
