When did you know what you wanted to be when you grew up? Did you know your job even existed?

At the Shop Rat Foundation, we’re in the business of opportunity; working to ensure that every child in Jackson County has the opportunities necessary to make educated decisions about their future and career goals.

With each of the 3,000+ students we’re serving this year, we provide opportunities to raise their awareness of careers within the manufacturing and building trades industries, as well as the educational pipeline to get there.

With those opportunities, we create momentum; providing numerous ways for students to keep feeding that flame and develop skills for their future.

But our work is far from done.

Now, we’re asking for your support to help us build capacity to continue growing with the need and demand that our community has shown.

We know how much this work matters to you and it we would love for you to be part of these efforts. Together, we can create a bright future for our youth and our community.

We Build Tomorrow
