Revolution Workshop builds skills, hope, and resilience in Chicago's most underserved communities through construction job training and job creation.
​

Revolution Workshop provides free, accredited training in construction.  Our 10-12 week hands-on training provides both technical and job readiness skills. 
Revolution Workshop believes building wood pieces has a transformative effect on people’s lives. The materials and design of each piece are as unique as the person building them and the home in which the furniture resides. All purchases directly support our construction training program.
Revolution Workshop addresses the labor shortage that our skilled trades employer partners are facing.  We focus on listening to ensure that our training remains relevant and provides value to employers.  
" This program helped me set myself up for the future, and If I never went through the program there’s no telling what I would be doing. Revolution Workshop is beyond construction…it’s family.”
