Make a real difference in the lives of those who have served our country.

why support Praxis Trades

The Praxis Trades mission is to help local veterans find meaningful and fulfilling work in the trades industry after their service. We have found that the trades offer some amazing benefits for former military members and they serve as a natural transitionary career path for veterans. We want to educate as many vets as we can about the benefits of exploring the trades. When veterans get jobs in the trade services, everyone wins – the community, the employers, the economy, and the service members themselves!

When you donate a dollar to Praxis Trades, you impact the lives of local veterans in a positive way!
