Planned program Not launched yet
Sponsor youth in your area.
Hands-on builders will always be needed. Corky's plans to start a nonprofit that introduces young people to the trades — and lets the Corky's Corner™ community sponsor kids right in their own towns.
With Corky's, everyone gets a piece of the pie
The mission
A real path into the trades.
Plenty of young people have never seen a foundation poured or a roof framed. Corky's Corner™ puts real job sites on screen; the planned nonprofit would take the next step and put tools in their hands, with experienced tradespeople showing them how.
Try it
Hands-on workshops and supervised job-site visit days with local contractors (safety first, with parent/guardian permission).
Gear up
Starter tool kits, safety gear and boots for young people starting out.
Get started
Connections to local apprenticeship programs, trade schools and contractors who are hiring.
Who can sponsor
- Subscribers — sponsor a kid in your own area.
- Contractors — host a visit day, mentor, or offer a first job.
- Brands & suppliers — tools, gear and program support.
- Schools & youth groups — partner to reach students.
Honest status
This program is planned, not launched. The nonprofit has not been formed yet, no donations are being accepted, and nothing here is tax-deductible. Right now we're only collecting interest so we know where to start.
Local first
Sponsor youth in your own area.
Sponsorship is organized by local area, so what you give stays in your community: kids from your town, visit days on your local job sites, tools for your local students.
Pick your state and type your city, town or region.
Down the road, the planned nonprofit aims to partner with cities nationwide — local governments, schools and workforce programs — so every area has its own youth-in-the-trades program.
