About NFT Youth Foundation

Nelson's Ford Trucks proudly established the NFT Youth Foundation to invest in the next generation of skilled trades professionals. We believe every young person deserves the opportunity to learn valuable hands-on skills, build confidence, and discover a career they can be proud of.

Our 501(c)(3) nonprofit provides hands-on automotive education centered around Ford trucks, diesel technology, fabrication, diagnostics, welding, and skilled trades. Through mentorship, real-world projects, and professional certification pathways, students gain practical experience while developing the discipline, work ethic, and problem-solving skills employers value.
