Fall Classes Update!

Hello from the Blue Collar Cooperative! With Summer winding down and the new school year underway, we wanted to thank all of the families that attended our classes over the past few months. This summer was full of opportunities to introduce our youngest learners to their first woodworking projects as they built their own tool boxes alongside their parents. It’s been great to watch these kids stick with it even when their arms are tired from sawing boards, to see them grow in confidence as they practice new skills and to see the satisfaction on their faces as they hold something they made with their own hands. 

We also had a lot of interest in our Car Care Class this Summer and were able to equip many new or soon-to-be drivers with the skills to maintain their cars and take care of issues like flat tires and dead batteries. This type of training is helping more young people learn how to take responsibility for the vehicles they drive and the confidence to handle minor car trouble when it comes up. 

After a full Summer schedule, we will be taking a break from classes during the month of October to focus on some other projects before the Winter weather sets in. Our classes will resume in November, here are the upcoming class dates:

Basic Woodworking - Parent/Child (child aged 7+)
