Community Craft Works (CCW) is a Harlem-based nonprofit dedicated to empowering youth through woodworking, digital design, and mentorship. We provide free, hands-on training programs that help young people develop practical skills, creative confidence, and access to sustainable career pathways in the trades and creative industries.

Our workshops blend craftsmanship with community — teaching problem-solving, teamwork, and self-expression through design and fabrication. By combining traditional woodworking with modern digital tools, CCW helps build both technical ability and personal growth, preparing participants for a lifetime of learning and contribution.

At its heart, CCW is about more than building things — it’s about building people and opportunity.
