Power Up! is a series of skilled trades workshops for young women, non-binary, and trans youth ages 13-17. The program runs weekly for 6 weeks in various locations. Each week, we meet Mondays 3:30-6pm.

The main purpose of Power Up is to expose youth to careers in various trades and offer them hands-on opportunities to engage with some of the tools/skills practiced in those trades.

The program is often organized as an introductory “trades sampler,” and the sessions include a number of different trades environments. There is no expectation that participants have any previous experience in any of the trades that are covered, although participants with some experience are certainly welcome.

Admission to the program is free, and attendance is usually capped at 10 participants. Snacks are provided.
