OUR APPROACH
At Latinas Welding Guild, we believe in creating opportunities that empower families across generations. In response to community needs, we’ve launched Youth Welding Programming to provide a safe, supportive space for 6th-12th graders to explore the world of welding.
Through year-round Youth Welding Clubs and Camps, students gain hands-on experience, build confidence, and develop problem-solving, creativity, and technical skills—all while discovering a potential career path. Plus, middle and high school participants receive meals or snacks during programs to keep them fueled and focused.
More than just welding, our program fosters collaboration, leadership, and real-world skills that open doors to economic mobility and brighter futures. Every spark in the workshop is a step toward new possibilities and a stronger community.
