Anyone in the trades industry knows entry-level workers need to come equipped with proper boots, work clothing, basic tools, and a driver's license to get work.  Boots & Bags is a youth-centered public charity inspired by one teacher's experience in a Career Technical Education classroom; he observed that while he could give his students skills, many of his most talented, capable, and eager students were unable to enter the trades upon graduation because they lacked these basic necessities. 

Boots & Bags was created to provide these core resources to our most prospective graduates in order to ease this transition and empower them to secure their first trade jobs immediately. We are dedicated to funding Driver's Ed Training and providing basic tool packages and workwear to such CTE graduates. Our goal is to bridge the gap between education and employment, offering practical support to enable students' job prospects and ensure a successful and immediate start in the workforce.
