Eagan-Based Company Creates Outreach Program For Low-Income Kids

EAGAN, MN — Young Builders and Designers is working on an outreach program for low-income Eagan kids.

The program, which has about 20 slots available, will be free to participants, as the cost of the program is covered by the program's partnership with the Eagan Community Foundation, according to Brian Kelley, director of Young Builders and Designers.

Kelley said the program will be divided into two sessions. The first session will be a workshop and the second session will be for the kids to present their projects. The workshop will include each child receiving a supplies kit, with which they must use for a “surprise challenge,” Kelley said.

The program is currently working on setting up dates, but those who are interested can contact Kelley at 612-599-9436 or at datoyshoppetwo@gmail.com

Young Builders and Designers is an Eagan-based program that partners with schools, organizations and non profits to create opportunities for kids to learn about the design build trades, Kelley said. It is currently hosting programs for kids throughout the Twin Cities.
