We had a great week working with the girls of this summer's Girls Construction Camp and meeting the many volunteers, mentors, and industry professionals who showed up to support them.

Throughout the week, the girls learned new skills, gained confidence using tools, tackled challenges, and created projects they can be proud of. We loved watching them encourage one another, ask questions, and discover what they're capable of building.

Congratulations to all of the participants, and thank you to everyone who helped make this experience possible!

Our shop transition is still underway, and we're making progress one piece at a time.

To keep the move smooth and safe, we're holding another HEAVY lift day on ⭐ Saturday, June 20.

Woodshops come with plenty of heavy tools and materials, so we're again looking for helping hands who don't mind lifting and loading!

A huge thank you to the volunteers who joined us for our first Heavy Lift Day!

Every shelf assembled, all of the tools transported, and the heavy boxes moved show the hard work done today.

We're so grateful to everyone who showed up ready to do some heavy lifting!

Don't forget, tomorrow is a HEAVY LIFT day!

We're planning to make big progress on our move and could use some more hands.

We'll be starting at our current shop and moving things to our new location on the east side. Help at one location or both is appreciated!

Competence starts with something as small as sandpaper.

Through woodworking, Deeply Ingrained helps youth grow one skill at a time. Giving them opportunities to practice, problem-solve, and create with their own hands.

Our shop transition is underway. To make the process smooth and safe we're breaking the move into pieces, and ⭐Saturday June 6 will be our first "Heavy Lift" day

Woodshops have heavy items like tools and stored materials, so we need some strong backs who don't mind getting a little dusty.
