Trades 4 Life has been developed for young men to be taught by older men, so they can live purposeful lives supporting others. These young men will develop relationships with Godly, skilled tradesmen who will be available as role models and mentors both during the education process and afterwards, as they go and make their way in life. These ongoing relationships are meant to offer support and accountability in their trade, business activities, and their relationships with others.
