Who We Are

A trade. A career. A community.

The Repair Project is a Georgia-wide nonprofit workforce development organization dedicated to equipping underserved individuals across the state with the technical skills and professional certifications needed to build sustainable careers in the appliance repair industry.

We recruit from communities that face the highest barriers to employment — recent high school graduates, dropouts, returning citizens, veterans, and the unemployed — and we offer our 12-week training program at absolutely no cost to participants.

Appliances repaired during training are donated to income-qualified families, creating a dual-impact model where every skill learned directly improves someone else's life.
