Join us as a woodwork apprentice to craft shoe cabinets for low-income families under the guidance of skilled instructors who have transformed from being homeless and offenders into wood craftsmen. Learn carpentry while being inspired by their journeys of change.
The Society for Community Organization's 'Gas Station for the Homeless' is a skills training and career support program sponsored by the Kerry Group and the Chow Tai Fook Charity Foundation. It empowers homeless individuals and ex-offenders to acquire skills such as plumbing and carpentry, aiding their reintegration and encouraging contributions to the community.
