MISSION - WHAT WE DO
At Would Works, we are committed to help youth with barriers to employment heal, learn new skills, grow their confidence and prepare for their next opportunities, by providing paid, creative, hands-on woodworking training in a supportive community.
VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS
We envision a future where communities and systems work together to advance human dignity, increasing economic opportunities for all and enabling people to thrive in balance with each other. Thus demonstrating that more equitable workforce models are possible.
SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT
Our workshops take place at our woodshop in Downtown LA and are divided into two core programs: Beginner Builders Program: BBP meets twice a week with cohorts of up to 10 Artisans for four month sessions. In these workshops, participants are paid to learn the ABCs of woodworking where they are trained to use common tools and machines found across a multitude of career pathways and how to safely navigate high hazard workshop environments. Our young adult participants are also provided wellness counseling, financial literacy courses, career discovery opportunities, and healthy family meals to ensure that each person receives holistic care while preparing for the next step in their professional journey. Community Builders Program: CBP is an extended paid training opportunity for Artisans who have completed our Beginner Builders Program and want to learn more advanced techniques in furniture design and fabrication. CBP creates outdoor furniture for community spaces and supportive housing sites throughout LA as well as our line of wood homewares, available for purchase on our website, through wholesalers, as well as pop up events.
