Tired of the only way to serve with your talents meaning going far away on missions trips, or replacing light bulbs at the church?
Come build alongside a Skilled Trades Mentor and 1-2 youth (ages 13-17), teaching them what you know and learning from them while you work.
Many of life's best conversations are had while swinging a hammer or turning a wrench. As you work, the projects will break down barriers, allowing you to share about life experience, trades experience and employability skills. Most importantly, it allows for a natural opportunity to share about the One who gives us hope and purpose.
Organized Kaos is a safe environment for both Trades assistants, and students to work and learn together.
Trades Assistants will work alongside a Skilled Trades Mentor and 1-2 students once a week, and have the opportunity to meet outside the shop to buy tools together and go for coffee in public places.

Mission Statement
Organized Kaos (OK) exists to disciple young people in life and trade, bringing them together to encourage hope and purpose. It offers a safe environment for young people to work and learn alongside skilled trades persons from local churches.
Description
Organized Kaos (OK) works with youth, ages 13-17, in the Brantford community, no matter demographic, race, gender or background. Our tradespeople teach youth in hands-on approach, maintaining a low ratio of one tradesperson to two students. It is a side-by-side mentorship, not an upfront teaching. Projects create a common ground and break down barriers in a casual setting, bringing opportunity to teach life skills, trades skills and employability skills. OK strives to bring the youth of Brantford out of a cycle of poverty and school drop-out.
Organized Kaos operates 4 nights a week at our shop in Brantford, 399 West St.
Organized Kaos offers 8-week specialty programs (Framing Level 1, Aluminum and Siding Level 1, Bricklaying Level 1, Woodturning Level 1 etc.) that are related to residential construction and woodworking.
Organized Kaos also offers Open Shop, which is a drop-in style night to maintain consistency with our students.
OK offers a Rewards program, which provides youth with physical tools after set amount of shop hours. For example, 25 shop hours= a tape measure. Our students meet their mentor at a local store, buy the tool, and then head to a local coffee shop to chat.
