Tools 4 Hope
Tools for Hope is more than a vocational training program. This on-the-job training opportunity provides many tools for success. Appropriate peer interaction, peer leadership, shared life experience and relevant group programing all provide many tools for success beyond traditional vocational training.
​
Opportunities for free woodworking and welding training are available in addition to some on-the-job training positions. Initial interviews determine the best path for individual success.
​
In addition to vocational training, Tools for Hope offers agricultural training in bee keeping, landscaping and light farm work.
