Some sparks are worth celebrating. 🔥

A big thank-you to YesWelder for investing in Welding for the Future, a new Montgomery County 4-H program launching this fall!

When Montgomery County Cooperative Extension Service (Arkansas) Agent Gerald Hewitt applied for and received an Arkansas 4-H Impact Grant to start a countywide youth welding program, YesWelder stepped up as a partner. They provided a complete starter shop: a multi-process welder, spool gun, welding cart, rod oven, helmet, jacket, gloves, and 100 pounds of electrodes to get young welders started.

The first practice is Friday, November 6, with sessions every Friday after that. The goals go well beyond the shop floor: building real skills, competing at the Arkansas 4-H State O-Rama Welding Contest, and working toward welding certifications that open doors to careers and college.

It all started with one young man who built a shop table with his grandfather and took home top honors in Ag Mechanics at the county fair. Now, thanks to YesWelder, many more Montgomery County youth will get that same chance to strike an arc and build something they’re proud of.

That’s what Beyond Ready looks like: skills for today and confidence for whatever comes next.

Thank you, YesWelder, for believing in what 4-H youth can build. 💚🍀
