The University of Hawaiʻi Maui College is offering a series of free, week-long training classes in essential carpentry skills to support Lahaina recovery efforts.
The training courses will be led by professional instructors, and participants will receive hands-on experience with carpentry equipment, tools, roofing, siding, quality control and more.

During the training, participants will help build sheds that will be donated to Lahaina wildfire victims to aid in their recovery.
