Goal: Empowering Veterans Through Woodturning Excellence
Our primary objective within the Turn Around for Veterans (TAV) program is to foster a dynamic learning environment that equips participants with proficient woodturning skills and techniques while prioritizing safety as our paramount concern. To achieve this, we aim to:
Ensure Financial Accessibility: Strive for sustained financial support through generous donations to the San Diego Woodturners (SDWT), guaranteeing that all essential safety equipment, machinery, tools, materials, and expendable supplies remain readily available. Our goal is to eliminate any financial barriers, allowing veterans to participate without undue burden.
Expand Skill Development Opportunities: Under the dedicated guidance of volunteers, we endeavor to facilitate a comprehensive journey of skill development for TAV participants. From introductory projects like pen turning to the mastery of advanced techniques, our goal is to offer a diverse range of woodworking projects that cater to the individual desires of each participant, fostering creativity and personal growth.
Maximize Volunteer Engagement: Recognizing the invaluable contributions of unpaid volunteers, TAV aims to maintain and strengthen their unwavering commitment. By leveraging their expertise and passion, we ensure that 100% of donated funds earmarked for TAV are directly invested in procuring supplies, equipment, and supporting program activities. This commitment underscores our dedication to maximizing the impact of every contribution.
Promote Awareness and Support: Actively encourage and welcome support for TAV through cash or material donations to SDWT. Our goal is to raise awareness of the program’s impact and benefits, inspiring a broader community to contribute. Each donation, accompanied by a tax-deductible acknowledgment from our treasurer, becomes a vital step in shaping a future of transformation and healing for our veterans through the art of woodturning.
By pursuing these goals, we envision a future where the TAV program continues to thrive, creating lasting positive impacts on the lives of veterans through the transformative power of woodturning. Together, let’s shape a brighter and more empowered future for those who have served our nation with honor.
