ABOUT MTFW
ADOPTION PROGRAM
MTFW created an adoption program whereby contractors or groups of contractors or individuals or other entities could adopt a particular High School Masonry Module program. Sets of basic masonry tools as well as student and instructor curriculum materials are provided. A banner or plaque is given to the school to denote this adoption.
FUNDING - GOLF OUTING
Every summer MTFW hosts a golf outing that includes a raffle and short education session that updates the attendees on the progress being made with getting education programs in High Schools. This provides youth the opportunity to think about masonry as a career choice that is hands- on, artistic and a good economic choice.
HIGH SCHOOL
MASONRY MODULES
One to two week modules that teach the basics of masonry as a career are becoming available in many high schools in the state through MTFW coordinated industry folks and enthusiastic Tech Ed Teachers. Industry experts teach and provide hands on opportunities to build with brick, block and stone. It is a great learning experience as well as fun!
