Thank you ComEd for putting on a fantastic community event! Boys & Girls Club of Rockford is a proud partner of the #ToolsOfTheTrade program with ComEd. This 6-week program provides young adults aged 17-19 an opportunity to engage in hands-on development and training for skilled trade jobs across the region! Participants learn from industry leaders on a variety of program topics, from wiring basics and fleet mechanics to resume writing and job readiness. #ToolsOfTheTrade #GreatFuturesStartHere
What do we get when we combine our #ToolsOfTheTrade program with a community service event? 46 high school students and 50 #ComEdVolunteers joining forces to build 62 twin-size bed frames for children as part of St. Joseph Church's bed ministry! 🛏️ In partnership with Boys & Girls Club of Rockford and Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago, the seven-week Tools of the Trade program introduces high school students to the world of skilled trades and utility work.
