- Home Depot Inc (NYSE: HD) is returning the in-store programming in U.S. stores for Kids Workshops. These are the details.
Starting on Saturday, May 7th, The Home Depot’s Kids Workshops will return to in-store programming in U.S. stores. And the workshops will take place on the first Saturday of each month, offering families an opportunity to complete DIY projects together.
To maintain customer and associate safety, The Home Depot had moved all Workshop activities to virtual offerings in 2020. And since going virtual, The Home Depot has donated over 1.6 million workshop kits to individuals, community events, and more than 100 nonprofit organizations through The Home Depot Foundation.
Along with bringing families together, The Home Depot’s Kids Workshops create a hands-on learning experience that sparks creativity, promotes problem-solving, and encourages social interaction for the youngest generation of DIYers. And each month a new seasonal-themed workshop will be offered, beginning with a Picket Fence Planter in May.
The upcoming projects include a Constellation Viewer, Summer Camper, and Pencil Desk Organizer. And all tools and materials needed to complete the Workshop will be available and a Home Depot Associate will be there to assist families as necessary. The kids in attendance will receive a kid-sized Home Depot Apron, collectible pin, and certificate of project completion for participation.
In addition to the Kids Workshops offering, The Home Depot also hosts a variety of online workshops for aspiring doers and professionals led by knowledgeable associates and industry experts, including Homeowner 101 Livestreams, DIY, Seasonal, and Pro Workshops. Through the workshops and online Project Guides, doers of all skill levels and interests can learn from the home improvement retailer.
The Kids Workshop program will take place in U.S. Stores from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. local time on the first Saturday of each month. And the stores will operate the Kids Workshop program in accordance with local and state CDC guidelines.
