MFG* Apprenticeships

An educational—entrepreneurial hybrid in the high desert.



 Tuition-free training of local hands-on learners in trades that help build out spaces they want to occupy as adults in the Morongo Basin. By working with our hands, we work together to build a better future for ourselves. MFG fosters meaningful skills and meaningful relationships.

     


























*MFG, short for Mojave Fabrication Guild, grew from designer Roni Koltuniak’s advanced study of sociology, specifically her academic re-consideration of the 2016 documentary, The Bad Kids, profiling the at-risk students of Black Rock Continuation High School. Within this context, MFG offers an act of community reclamation, rooted not in perceived morality, but rather potential, positivity and opportunity.

The StoreThe MFG Store stocks products made by participants—apprentices and mentors alike. Proceeds support the program and its commitment to provide sustainable wages. As an IRL retail space, the Shop tests the marketability of the pieces produced at The Workshop—an invaluable opportunity for direct consumer feedback, and an integral stage in MFG’s closed-loop system.
