There's a shortage of skilled workers entering the trades.
...We're working to fix that
The Evidence is Mounting...
The Young Craftsman Foundation Solution
​
The Young Craftsman Foundation exists to remove barriers for the next generation of skilled tradespeople. We do this by partnering with leading tool vendors, industry suppliers, and generous individuals who believe in the future of the trades.
Through these partnerships, YCF secures high-quality tools and equipment, either donated outright or provided at significantly reduced cost and assembles complete starter tool packages for graduating trade students.
Every package is delivered directly to deserving young craftsmen and craftswomen who are ready to begin their careers but may not have the resources to purchase the tools they need.
YCF also relies on donations from individuals and companies who share our mission. Whether it’s financial support, donated tools, or in-kind services, every contribution directly fuels more tool packages and expands our ability to reach students across the country.
Our model is simple: Industry partners + community support = real tools in the hands of young tradespeople.
Each collaboration plays a critical role, and below, we’re proud to highlight the partners who help make this mission possible.
