Our Collaboration
Hood County is blessed to have many agencies and organizations that minister to the same people we do. We work together with many of these agencies and organizations to provide our students with the help they need without duplicating the services offered by others.
Our Needs
With the growth of our programs, our need for materials and technical support have grown tremendously. We are on the right path at the right time to meet the ongoing needs of businesses and trades by supplying them with trained and dedicated workers to fill vacant positions.
In closing, Forward Training Center programming needs donations to support current operations and enable growth. Additionally, volunteers are needed to provide instruction and mentoring in all classes and to provide support in administration and fundraising.
