Skills That Build More Than Careers

Through Keystone SMILES Community Learning Center’s House of Trades program, participants aren’t just learning trade skills. They’re putting those skills to work on projects that make a real difference for local organizations, families, and neighbors.

Support from the William & Elizabeth Charitable Fund for the Trades helped provide the tools and safety gear needed to make that hands-on learning possible.

From accessible ramps to restoration projects, see how training, service, and community impact are coming together through House of Trades.
