Albert & Wick’s Traveling Makerspace – Organizational Overview
Albert & Wick’s Traveling Makerspace is a Nebraska-based nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to the skilled trades through hands-on, project-based learning. The organization’s mission is to reconnect communities with the dignity and opportunity found in building, repairing, and maintaining the physical spaces around us.
Albert & Wick’s operates on a simple premise: the jobsite can be the classroom. Through real construction projects that benefit local communities, participants gain exposure to the skilled trades while learning practical skills, teamwork, and problem-solving alongside experienced professionals. This approach creates meaningful pathways into construction and related fields, particularly for individuals who may not thrive in traditional educational settings.
By partnering with communities, contractors, educators, and nonprofit organizations, Albert & Wick’s aims to strengthen neighborhoods while helping individuals discover viable careers in the trades. The organization is committed to fostering mentorship, practical education, and community collaboration as essential components of long-term workforce development.
Named in honor of founder Scott Maag’s two grandfathers, Albert Maag and Charles “Wick” Cozad, the organization reflects a belief that strong communities are built through shared effort, practical knowledge, and the dignity of meaningful work.
