Healing through Community and Skill Crafting
We believe that when someone works with their hands and their creative side, it allows for a sense of peace and accomplishment that facilitates healing in that individual. Our goal is to give these tools and skills to as many as possible.
Bringing back the spirit of Craftsmanship
We believe at Blue Ox that the recognition of the importance of skilled trades is on the rise. We are on a mission to facilitate this movement in our local community and the greater world community.
Our Youth and Veteran's Programs
Our programs for both Youth and Veterans have been profound in how they have helped create a sense of pride and belonging for those with a "difficult" past. We know how much these skills and projects move us towards healing and benefit everyone involved.
