What is the Teens 2 Trades Program?

Teens 2 Trades is on a mission to connect Idaho’s youth with trade companies within our state.

These trades include plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and welding. In collaboration with the College of Western Idaho and in alignment with the Idaho Launch Initiative, Teen’s to Trades extends its support by providing scholarships and a well-defined career pathway within the trades.

Over 24% of our student population are facing financial hardships. Funds raised
through the Education Foundation during Giving Tuesday will support
programs like

Bridging the Gap and Housing + High School = Success.

These programs ensure the basic needs of our most vulnerable student
population are met. These programs assist with food, transportation
assistance, utilities, housing assistance, clothing, counseling and many
other immediate needs.

Here is how you can help:

  • $50 - Can assist with gas for a family to get their child to school for a month

  • $100 -Can allow a child to participate in a sport for a season

  • $300 - Can provide a housing stipend for a month
