As part of
SkillsUSA’s annual program of work, we ask local chapters to plan, promote and conduct a community service project during the
SkillsUSA National Week of Service, May 5-11. This helps commemorate the organization’s founding on May 8, 1965.
SkillsUSA advisors or chapter officers can email a brief description of their local events and photos to Gayle Silvey at
gsilvey@skillsusa.org. In return, we’ll send you a
SkillsUSA logo gift item valued at $15 to say thanks.
