Building furniture and futures
Phase 1 build a workshop
Jim Piscopo co-founder of Bridging AZ is a disabled Air Force veteran. One or our key initiatives is supporting veterans. Bridging is the primary resource for beds and clean furniture for Arizona Coalition to End Homelessness and their Project H3 Vets Because we have limited staff we can not offer services directly to individuals, if you are a veteran and are in need of furniture please contact your caseworker.
Bridging AZ has developed a furniture manufacturing program that is designed to engage and train Veterans primarily disabled veterans. This specially designed program is one that Veterans will be able to identify with. It is a peer to peer apprenticeship program taught by Veterans, professionals and business owners. Veterans who join our program will learn craftsmanship and manufacturing techniques to build a product line and custom furniture with varying degrees of specialty and intricacies.
Concept – a Tech School…But Different
Very little classroom.  80% hands on training and experience up-cycling used furniture plus basic to advanced woodworking and metal fabrication.  To help fund the training and wages of veterans going through training we will sell products made in the USA by Veterans. Â
