The non profit sounds fascinating - as someone who is just about to graduate university I would love to do something like that in my community. My city does have programs that would help people get some hands-on experience with welding and the like, but most of those that I know of are limited to the local universities, and are thus non-accessible to lower-income families, plus there are only a few in the public schools in the area. Building some kind of a hacker/maker-space or at least a program to teach MIG/stick welding would be a lot of fun, and, I'd imagine, very rewarding.
