286: The Trade Program: Earn While Growing, Learn By Doing

In this week's episode, Will welcomes experiential educator Greg Hitchcock, who shares the story of The Trade—a paid apprenticeship and next-step program for young adults who feel stuck or unsure of their direction. Based on 2,000 acres in New Hampshire, The Trade helps participants learn by doing and earn while growing through hands-on training in the trades, including forestry, woodworking, construction, automotive, hospitality, and more. Apprentices live together in a supportive, therapeutic-style community, earning wages from day one while building life skills, confidence, and independence through real work in the outdoors.  Learn more about The Trade at TradeForLife.org. This podcast is supported by White Mountain Adventure Institute (wmai.org), offering adventure inspired retreats for men.
