City Youth Matrix hosts woodworking workshop with Frederick Police Department

City Youth Matrix hosts a 4-week woodworking series in partnership with Frederick Police Department.

‘As a longtime public education teacher myself and still doing that, we recognize the need to connect children with these opportunities and remove the barriers that exist,’ said Aaron Vetter, Founder and Executive Director of City Youth Matrix.

‘The woodworking is merely a vehicle for teaching kids how to use their hands so that they can problem-solve and fix problems themselves,’ said Lt. John Corbett, Commander, FPD Special Operations Division.

‘There’s a lot of kids who don’t have dads who could teach them how to make stuff, so the fact that people could come here to learn how to make stuff just really makes me happy,’ said Liam Kalbskopf, 9-year-old Woodworker.
