What:   Our My Grown Up & Me Woodshop is an opportunity for community members to learn and share their skills with a younger generation of learners! As we become an increasingly more digital world, craft skills like woodworking are becoming lost arts.  With our project, we can help a new generation of kids learn some of these craft skills, while working hands-on with an adult mentor/partner.
