Workshops
About the Program
What started in 2007 with the idea of vocational training through construction projects, has grown into multiple areas for our workshop facilities. MBW has one workshop training facility located on St Thomas and one on St Croix. Both use the same training MBW method while training the youth, that includes mental health, mentoring, and education as part of the process.
Trainees at the workshop have opportunities to learn about construction, carpentry, woodworking, plumbing, electrical, and masonry trades through the program. Our staff of skilled trainers work daily with the students, helping them learn these valuable skills that will help them find employment upon graduation.
To provide the opportunities for learning, our workshop receives orders from customers for the students to practice, and then the products are sold to help stabilize the overall program.
