Equipping the next generation to build, lead, and own.

P8 Community Impact prepares young people for leadership, financial capability, and skilled trades careers, and works with communities to rebuild what has been broken.

Why we exist

The skilled trades crisis starts long before the job site.

Our nation faces an urgent shortage of skilled trades talent, and most young people are never exposed to the trades early enough to see them as a real path. We build that path early, pairing character and financial capability with real exposure to the trades, so students can succeed in a trade and one day own a trade business.

Our programs

Three programs, one pathway

Ages 11 to 18

P8 L.A.M.B.S.
