Get Involved
It is a well-know fact that over the last 25 years, schools have dropped vocational training programs from their list of offerings. Nearly 70% of our country does not have a college degree and the number continues to grow.
With the cost of college tuition on the rise, a large skills gap issue, and a tremendous need to fill jobs with skilled labor, our country is in desperate need of localized, innovative, disruptive change to our social programs. Project LIFT is primed to be that change, but we need your help!
Become a Mentor
Join Project LIFT's Male Mentorship Program and contribute to a meaningful journey of mentorship and personal growth. Mentors commit to a rewarding 14-week session, dedicating 1 to 2 hours every Wednesday or Thursday to positively impact the lives of these young men.
No prior trades experience is required - just a genuine desire to make a difference, have fun, and be a positive influence in shaping the next generation.
Become a Volunteer
We are always looking for volunteers in: carpentry & construction, auto mechanics, and welding.
You also have the opportunity to become a tutor for our Pathway Academy students, become a driver to help transport members to and from Project LIFT or donate a “home style” meal.
Donate Your Car or Boat
When you donate a vehicle to Project LIFT, it begins a ripple effect of giving that provides training opportunities to at-risk teens, and also gives families in need a hand up. 95% of donated cars are repaired by teens learning skills in our Auto Repair program, and then donated back to a needy family in our community. To donate your vehicle or boat, please fill out the form in the link below.
