More than a woodworking class.

At Crew 52, we help young builders learn practical trade skills, practice patience and teamwork, and take home something they made themselves. From first measurements to final assembly, every project is a chance to grow.

Why 52?

52 days. One determined crew.

Crew 52 draws its name from the biblical story of Nehemiah—a leader who rebuilt with courage, faith, and care for his people.

Our mission is simple: equip children with useful skills, confidence, and the satisfaction of honest work. We believe what kids build with their hands can help shape who they become.

Everyone is welcome to learn and build.
