Programs

Two accounts, one investment

A trade skill and the discipline to keep what it pays — planted together, in a community that's been asked to choose between the two for too long.

Trade Pathways

Seeds to Skills

Paid apprenticeship on-ramps in electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and carpentry — matched directly to local contractors who are short-handed today.

Financial Literacy

Seeds to Savings

Budgeting, credit, and first-paycheck onboarding for youth, young adults, and families — timed to land right when the income does.

A Seed that took root

In the summer of 2020, Jyziah Herring joined us as an eighth grader headed into ninth grade — the youngest in the program, and the only one who wasn't from Folkston. His dad made the drive over from a neighboring county all summer so he wouldn't miss it.

That summer stuck. Jyziah started ninth grade in his high school's welding program and hasn't slowed down since — his instructor has him moving up fast, with rave reviews on his technique.
