About

Organized Kaos exists to apprentice young people in life and trade inspiring hope and purpose. We offer a safe environment in which young people work and learn alongside skilled trades persons from local churches.

“You actually get to do stuff!”

Organized Kaos is not an “up-front” teaching, but a “side-to-side” mentorship, in which trades people teach youth, ages 13-17, in a hands on approach.

OK maintains low ratios of 1 Skilled Trades Mentor to 2 Students.

Projects create a common ground and break down barriers in a casual setting, leaving space to teach life skills, employability skills, faith, and the trades.

“Trades people know that the best way to learn is while turning a wrench or swinging a hammer.”
