We love Tractors

About

Our organization has been established to assist the students participating in the Four Rivers Night Shift Program. Night Shift is an extracurricular activity offered at the Four Rivers Career Center located in Washington Missouri. Students engaged in Night Shift must hold themselves to high standards in order to join and complete the program. The group is formed of participating Four Rivers Career Center students from eleven sending high schools that are enrolled in any of the 15 programs throughout the building.

Qualified students learn valuable work and life skills through restoring antique tractors. They participate during their high school career to better themselves and help better their community by volunteering their time to bridge the gap between entry level employees and seasoned employees in their future careers. Students get together at the beginning of each year and choose their restoration projects for the year and work diligently to complete them two nights a week during the school year.

During the restoration process, the students are responsible for the restoration, documentation, and entry into the DELO Tractor Restoration Competition, a national tractor restoration contest sponsored by Chevron Delo. Our organizational goal is to assist the students with needed tools, supplies, experience to complete the restorations, and provide scholarships to qualified graduating seniors. This will assist them in the continuation of their education and starting their careers. A successful student will help to create a successful community.
