My Project

As a master mechanic/instructor, I have had the privilege of working with some great young people. Our students have a desire to learn and often expand on their knowledge of automotives. Although they don't have access to vehicles, my students strive to improve each time they are in my class.

With access to shop supplies, our students can focus on certifying in auto mechanics.

By certifying in Auto Mechanics II, students can secure a position at automobile dealership or mechanic's shop to earn money, while they are still in school.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
