Waterside Workshops
| |
  Waterside Workshops uses vocational education as a method of promoting youth development, encouraging sustainable and healthy lifestyles, and cultivating positive change in the Bay Area community. |
We provide job-training, classes, and recreation opportunities for local youth while offering services to the community including a bicycle shop and repair facility, a full service wooden boat building shop, and Berkeley's only waterfront coffee shop. All donations are tax-deductible and all purchases from our workshops directly support the free services we provide for the community. Click here for our HOURS OF OPERATION.
Waterside Workshops served over 250 youth in 2011. Donations from our community play a major role in supporting our free programs for low-income youth, please visit our Funding Waterside page for more information.
Vocational skills and job training are vitally important to older youth who will soon be entering the job market. Above and below, our older interns show off their new skills. Many of these young people are hired at Waterside, or placed in jobs with local businesses.
Youth in our boat building program have the opportunity to go on-the-water to explore boat design, learn about local ecology, and pick up trash from the shoreline. We are committed to teaching young people about the ecology of Aquatic park in hopes of fostering the next generation of stewards who will help to protect it.
