Support the Cause
USMSI is an all volunteer organization and does not receive any Federal, State or Local funding. It relies completely on the generous giving of the community it serves. Your tax deductible gift is greatly appreciated!
Our Youth and Veterans apprenticeship programs are a combination of on-the-job training and related instruction in which workers learn the practical and theoretical aspects of highly skilled occupations. We provide at-risk youth, ages 12-28, the opportunity to transform their lives by learning to be community leaders and preparing themselves to enter the marketplace through training opportunities in various fields. These educational (Module) programs and courses are completely free to the students and are supported by corporate, individual sponsors and our new profit structures program.
