Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Tacoma Boat Builders TBB creates transformational opportunities for youth through positive mentorship woodworking and boat building. We pair youth with experienced craftspeople and together they create objects of functional beauty. By providing youth with a safe space to learn and grow including a mentor to learn from youth are given opportunities to build skills find creative outlets and most importantly increase their sense of safety and belonging.

  • Tacoma Boat Builders TBB was founded in 2014 in partnership with Pierce County Juvenile Court as a community-based alternative to traditional juvenile justice responses. Since then TBB has expanded to provide prevention-focused programs for young people ages 12-18 especially those at risk of system involvement. Through a strengths-based approach TBB fosters youth development with an emphasis on early intervention emotional resilience and positive decision-making. The demographics of youth served are reflective of the youth population in Pierce County. TBBs core programs offer hands-on learning opportunities in a fully equipped woodshop and on the water with youth supported by trained mentors and staff. Participants build skills develop self-advocacy and choose personalized activities--from crafting projects to boat-based experiences. Beyond these core offerings TBB provides individualized support for youth facing challenges including housing instability and justice system involvement. When needed TBB connects youth to trusted partner organizations for wraparound services. In 2024-25 TBB served 680 youth across all programs including 135 youth experiencing housing instability or court involvement. Community-based programs engaged an additional 544 children youth as well as approximately 54 adult caregivers at libraries parks and other public spaces. Guided by the Youth Program Quality Initiative YPQI TBB uses data-driven evaluation to ensure continuous improvement. Consistently high youth completion rates 85% overall and strong outcomes 91-100% demonstrate the programs positive impact on skill development connection and personal growth. Through our public facing programs designed for all ages and abilities we served 532 children youth and families. Programs included make and take popups at community events middle schools and libraries. From our facility we provided additional programs for youth families and other youth serving organizations through community boating and an intergenerational building together program. We also staff and support two Canoe Families for the annual Tribal Canoe Journey. These programs are low barrier create access and opportunity for all people in our community and align with tradition and history of our region.
