SEMA program to get kids interested in Jeeps!

And from the SEMA site:

So if you don’t know, the folks at SEMA started a program last year where they pick a handful of high schools with automotive course from across the nation (last year was the pilot program so it was only one school) and gives them each a vehicle to work on. The vehicles are then sold at auction with the proceeds going to buy the vehicles for the next year. I know they aren’t JL’s but this year they gave 5 schools each a Jeep to work on. I think this is going to turn out to be a great program and get a lot of the youth really interested in not only Jeeps and jeeping, but also interested in the automotive world as a whole. I would love to get to see these in person and read more about the specs.

I work at a community college with a pretty good automotive program, I might have to mention this to a few people to see if they can make something like this happen on our campus!

That would be awesome! Anyway that we can encourage people to find their passion is a win in my book!

I love this. I’ve been following the Jeeps on BAT (my favorite website): https://bringatrailer.com/listing/sema-eduction-charity-jeep-wrangler-project-california/

We need better shop classes in our schools. I hope that this program inspires kids.

You cant sell them but I know there is a train full of JLs and JTs out there that would be perfect for automotive school programs...
