Gilmore Garage Works has kicked off another year with a cohort of 15 kids this fall!

Gilmore Garage Works is an after-school enrichment program at the Gilmore Car Museum that gives students hands-on experience in auto restoration, welding, painting, and fabrication. Led by volunteer mentors since 2009, it builds technical skills along with responsibility, teamwork, and professionalism. Students leave with a resume, a portfolio, letters of recommendation, and the confidence to take their next step.

To learn more or enroll a child in the next session, please reach out to Michael Albani, Director of Education at [email protected]
