A College for Painters
Some artists are very skilled in their artwork and in many cases can get a scholarship to a college for their drawing or painting abilities. For those that might lack the art skills needed for a scholarship but love to paint, might can find help for a college that helps paint homes every summer. College Pro Painters has been helping students get their paint brushes wet all over North America. They have been painting homes in Canada and in 29 U.S. states. While providing the fun and education of painting, it’s also a great way for someone to get an education, while serving their community too. Home Painters go around and paint houses in their cities, communities, counties, states and the provinces of Canada and this all got started back in 1971 in Ontario, Canada. Today this student painting company paints 30,000 homes each summer and all of their managers are full time college students. This is a win, win situation for everybody that is involved with this painting school company. The people in the community win by having these great young people around, because they get a quality paint job done to their homes which was needed. The students get a chance to bond with members of their community, exercise with all the hard work it takes to paint a home and all of this is productive time for young people. The more young people that get involved with community projects like this, is less time they could be out getting in trouble. So the whole idea of a student paint company is really great and I wished my community could get behind something like this.
Managers are full time college students and these are the franchisees of the College Pro Painters. Once they are selected to be a manager they get trained really well and they go out and help uphold the name of the College Pro Painters brand. They can then bring this good service to their community and everyone wins. To see how much this has grown since 1971 shows just how good this program really is. I would expect to see it continue to grow and I’m sure in the near future they will be thousands and thousands of extra homes that get painted each summer by the College Pro Painters.
