Workshop Houston builds the foundations for empowered communities through creative and enriching activities for youth. Workshop Houston has five shops that provide artistic, technical and academic resources: the Chopper Shop (welding and metal fabrication), the Beat Shop (hip-hop music production), the Style Shop (fashion design), the Third Ward Bike Shop (do-it-yourself bike repair), and the Homework Shop (academic tutoring). Our programs use hands-on projects and dynamic collaborative processes to create an environment in which youth explore new knowledge and power on their own terms.
