DRIVER TRAINING
Working in the trades requires the ability to get to jobsites. And in states where Driver's Ed is not offered in public school systems, being able to afford private lessons becomes a big challenge for low-income students. Therefore, one of our biggest priorities is assisting prospective laborers in acquiring their drivers training and licenses before graduating from high school. Your donation will help cover the costs associated with this process. Together with Boots & Bags, you will help empower CTE construction graduates transport themselves in order to sustain themselves!
