Andrea Bowens has a passion for being part of organizations that invest in positive opportunities for youth engagement. When she recognized that most schools no longer offer shop classes for students to casually and creatively learn hands-on trades, she founded the nonprofit, Bull City Woodshop.
Bull City Woodshop is a youth-centered organization that guides individual development, fosters community connection, and cultivates creativity through woodworking. Its mission focuses on positive mentor relationships between the volunteers and youth, individualizing their experiences to maintain a safe and creative working environment.Ā
