We're Hands of Hudson, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit all about empowering youth through hands-on skills! In today's world, it's awesome to see young people discover the satisfaction of building and creating with their own hands. We offer a Monthly Tools Knowledge & Safety Course to teach the basics of safe and effective tool use, and a Monthly Hands-On Workshop where participants either make cool projects to take home or create items to donate to other local nonprofits and charities, showing them the power of giving back. Beyond our regular schedule, we're also excited to host private workshops for youth programs, organizations, or even a group of friends looking for a unique and engaging experience. We're passionate about helping the next generation become capable and confident, and we always welcome volunteers who are ready to share their time and knowledge. Come build a brighter future with us, one skill at a time!
Hands of Hudson, a youth-focused non-profit, is dedicated to imparting hands-on skills, mentorship, and teamwork to empower young individuals. By fostering a community of learning and growth, we aim to equip the youth with essential tools for success and personal development. Our commitment lies in providing a supportive environment that nurtures creativity, critical thinking, and leadership skills among the youth.
Our Story Unfolded
A Tribute to Hudson (Rayford Hudson III)
My journey with the skills you see at Hands of Hudson began at the age of three, under the guidance of my father, Rayford Hudson III, whom everyone knew as "Hudson." Though he passed in 2015, this work stands as a tribute to his legacy of craftsmanship and his profound impact on countless individuals throughout Atlanta.

Always with love, your son Christopher Hudson

Through practical learning, they gain confidence and valuable insights, making a lasting impact on their personal growth. Join us in shaping the leaders of tomorrow!
Mentoring
At every workshop, event, or community service initiative, we strive to have a mentor present to engage and inspire the youth. This professional will offer valuable insights, share experiences, and provide guidance to help shape the future leaders of our community. By fostering connections, we aim to empower the next generation and encourage their personal and professional growth.
Community Engagement
Restorative community service offers youth the opportunity to give back while developing essential life skills. Through engaging in meaningful activities, they learn the importance of teamwork, responsibility, and empathy. This experience not only helps them contribute positively their communities but also equips them with valuable skills that will serve them throughout their lives, making them more of an asset than a liability. Embrace the chance to grow and make a difference!
