Mentors Matter!

YOU Can Make a Difference in Building the Future

Do you have toolmanship skills, and a desire to share them? At Bendix Academy, we believe hands-on toolmanship knowledge can change lives. As our program continues to grow, we’re seeking mentors who are passionate about restoring mechanical self-reliance in the next generation.

Whether you’re a seasoned tradesperson, engineer, dedicated DIYer, or simply someone who enjoys teaching and giving back, your experience can make a lasting impact. Our mentors guide students through real projects that build confidence, critical thinking, and the ability to solve problems with their own hands. You can read more about what it’s like to be a Bendix Academy mentor at this link, or scroll to the bottom of this page for recent articles.

If you’re ready to make a difference—one tool, one lesson, one student at a time—we’d love to hear from you. Questions? Please contact us at toolmen@bendixacademy.org.
