YSF relies on donations and proceeds from Welding and Metal Sculpture adult classes. There is an overwhelming deficit of skilled workers in the welding, fabrication, machine technology, and structural engineering industries. I believe many Professional Artists, like myself, enjoy teaching and inspiring others. So why not create an teen program and summer camp which offers these valueble skills? Yo
ung people today love the challenge and the "instant" gratification of building something tangible. With supervision, graduates of YSF apprentice program will have acquired valuable skills needed to gain immediate employment in the industrial trades. Youth will also be encouraged to pursue higher education to advance their career as a professional trades person, artist, or engineer and hopefully, inspire and teach others themselves. Long term goals of YSF include expanding the program to include robotics, electronics, carpentry and other industrial trades. Any professionals in those fields interested in joining YSF are welcome to contact me. If you believe that "Youth are our future" then, you understand the importance for this Foundation to succeed. Physical, tangible or Monetary are welcome. Thank you kindly,
