Tacoma Boat Builders offers one-on-one mentorship with hands-on learning programs. We use woodworking, wooden boat building, and rowing/sailing to develop a range of life-changing social-emotional and hands-on skills. TBB emphasizes relationships and choice for all who join us, youth and adults. This positive climate allows youth to develop empathy, competency, and a stronger ability to advocate for themselves.
HANDS ON SKILLS
LIFE SKILLS
People look at me and only see my problems. It didn’t feel that way here. But you’re not afraid of my problems either. I like that we get to do lots of different things: drawing, building, painting. It gives you different ways to express what’s happening on the inside.
