The Yard Crew
The Yard Crew is a 16-week programme dedicated to developing personal, practical and business skills for young people age 16-23. Each member of the Yard Crew receives hands-on work experience, learning everything from woodwork skills and bike repairs to the ins and outs of running a social enterprise. The skills and the confidence gained prepare participants for employment—or even the ability to start their own venture some day!
For more information about The Yard, please contact Ashling Golden.
The Yard Crew have been working hard in the woodwork shop and are ready to offer their beautifully handcrafted goods for sale through Solas Project! All proceeds will benefit The Yard Skills Development Programme.
