Zay is walking 1,000 miles across Canada. Back home in North Philly, we're building his school.
Peace. People. Purpose.
HMBL University is a free trade school for young people in North Philly, starting with plumbing. It begins in a small hub for young adults, plus Trade Clubs inside District high schools, and grows from there.
A small North Philly space, built out with the community, where 10 to 15 young adults learn plumbing from a licensed plumber.
Free weekly after-school clubs inside Philly high schools, so students can start learning a trade before they graduate.
Employers pledge interviews and jobs for graduates, so every student has a door to walk through.
