Build Repair Grow is a new nonprofit program in Massachusetts that
teaches young people hands-on, practical skills in growing food, cooking, repairing bikes, sewing, and basic carpentry while developing increased resiliency, critical thinking, and problem-solving techniques through project-based learning. The elimination of home arts and shop classes from schools has created a gap that Build Repair Grow helps fill.

The core mission of Build Repair Grow is to provide young people with training in practical skills critical for building resiliency, problem-solving, and self-sufficiency while promoting community health. Our programs were developed with a focus on in-person, hands-on learning. However, due to the current COVID-19 crisis, Build Repair Grow is shifting to provide online video tutorials and take-home project kits.
