Whether you want to be a youth participant, volunteer helper, or join as career staff... there are lots of ways to get involved in The Shop program!

Youth

Empowering Youth Through Hands-On Experience

Youth Mentoring

Each week, youth aged 13-19 get hands on experience working on various aspects of vehicle and small engine service and repair.
Other than getting basic skills working with tools, this is a great chance for youth to find their talents and interests. Careers in engineering, automation, mechanics and even design would require a person to work with tools. Beyond learning essential tool skills, this program offers youth a valuable opportunity to discover their interests and strengths.

Job Readiness, Co-op and Placement

We help youth prepare their resumes, teach interview techniques and skills, enroll in co-ops and connect with job opportunities in their community with one of our business partners.

Volunteer

Ready to make an impact?

The Shop thrives thanks to the passion and dedication of both staff and volunteers, delivering a dynamic, well-resourced program. There are countless ways you can get involved and contribute to something bigger. Here’s how:
  • Vehicle Donation Advocacy – Partner with automotive dealers or engage the public to drive donations.
  • Fundraising & Awareness Event Coordination – Help organize events that fuel our mission and spread the word.
  • Prayer & Communication – Unite with partner organizations in prayer and stay connected for ongoing support.
  • Skilled Assistance – From towing (D class license required) to mechanical expertise (AST certification mandatory), your skills can make a huge difference.
  • Helpers – Prefer short-term or immediate impact? Focus on specific, urgent needs as they arise. Helpers perform tasks such as supplying meals for youth & staff, collecting materials for shop use, or cleaning our facilities.
  • Direct Financial Contributions – Your generosity helps us keep moving forward! Make a financial donation, arrange a fundraising activity, or advocate for others to contribute. All donations get a charitable tax receipt, and 100% of the funds are allocated to The Shop ministry fund to help us deliver programming to local vulnerable youth.
