On average, Would Works Core Training Programs (Beginner Builders Program and Community Builders Program) provides paid job training for up to 35 participants on an annual basis. However in 2025, due to shifts towards a reimagined job training structure, we focused our pilot program on training a group of 6 individuals and building a new co-teaching partnership with My Friends Place, another 501(c)(3) based in Los Angeles. Our Education Outreach Programs (Peoples Builders Program and Would Works Community Courses) reached over 200 individuals through free micro-workshops for Skid Row and nonprofit housing residents, attendees of job and resource fairs in LA Countys SPA4 and folks interested in learning new skills through sliding-scale woodworking classes in our main woodshop location. Together, these programs advanced economic mobility and made a positive impact on LAs unhoused youth community.
