Shannon recently participated in a fantastic Women in Auto Care tool build. Prior to the build, volunteers visited the Boys & Girls Club, where young people interested in automotive careers receive free classes, DIY days, and internship training.
The team then built 20 professional tool kits valued at approximately $15,000 each, assembled 20 additional tool kits valued at approximately $9,000 each, and packed 20 backpacks with tools and swag.
Shannon emphasized that access to tools can make all the difference, as many women entering the field are expected to purchase much of their own equipment. Initiatives like this help remove that barrier and demonstrate the impact that investing in Memphis youth and workforce development can have on our community.
