Our Mission

At The Carpenter’s House, we’re building more than projects — we’re building futures. Based in Kansas City, our nonprofit exists to provide fatherless and disenfranchised youth with a stable, faith-rooted environment where they can feel safe, seen, and supported. Through hands-on training in skilled trades, mentorship from military veterans, and biblical guidance, we aim to equip the next generation with purpose, direction, and hope.

Why It Matters

  • 1 in 3 kids in the U.S. lives without their biological father.
  • 15.6 million families are led by single mothers.
  • 6,205 veterans take their own lives every year.
  • Skilled trade jobs are in high demand, yet underfilled.

At The Carpenter’s House, we bring these stories together — giving youth a place to grow, veterans a place to serve, and both a renewed sense of purpose.
