How Kids Making It works.
Kids Making It Inc. is a nonprofit woodworking program dedicated to teaching vocational and life skills to at-risk and disadvantaged youth in southeastern North Carolina. Founded in 1994, the organization has provided hands-on training and mentorship to hundreds of young people seeking to build confidence, learn trades, and develop pathways to economic self-sufficiency.
The organization operates multiple programs serving youth ages 5-18, including traditional woodworking instruction at public housing sites and community centers, as well as specialized offerings like Woodshop on Wheels—a mobile program bringing woodworking education directly to underserved communities. Kids Making It also provides therapeutic woodworking classes for mothers and children at domestic violence shelters across the region, recognizing the broader mental health and community support benefits of skilled trades training.
Based at 617 Castle Street in Wilmington, Kids Making It serves over 500 students each year. The organization combines practical skill-building with mentorship and life skills coaching, helping youth develop self-discipline, problem-solving abilities, and confidence through the process of creating tangible woodwork projects. The nonprofit's approach emphasizes both immediate youth development and long-term workforce preparation.

The best idea this town has had in a long time. I wish every city would invest in such a great program! Check out the gift shop, these kids ARE making it!!

Amazing work made locally by kids! The man inside took time to explain to my friend and I the back story of the place and how it operates! All of the work kids make that is purchased, is given back to the kids. This is an amazing place for kids to learn so many different skills!

Love this program and the "kids making it". So many cute and creative projects. I make an almost weekly trip to pick something up either for myself or as a gift. The little trees at Christmas time and the Hearts at Valentine's were so adorable. We recently picked up one of the tic-tac-toe boards as well and they are really so nice! This is such as excellent program to mentor children and give them much needed skills to be successful! I'm always excited to see what you guys do next! It is always much appreciated that you offer curbside pickup as well and the staff there will bend over backwards to offer the best customer service ever. I strongly recommend KMI as a must see stop in Wilmington for sure!

Bought 2 beautiful, well crafted wine stoppers made from 100 year old wood. Love them! These are some seriously talented kiddos making some really cool items!

I love my chopping block from KidsMaking it. It was a great gift to myself and I use it ever day. Not only beautiful but well made at 2” thick and super durable. How cool that local kids make them, it’s a win win.
