Carthage Tech Center & Joplin Area Habitat Collaboration

In a collaborative effort, the students and leaders of the Carthage Technical Center have begun rehabbing a home that was significantly damaged by a fire. Students are transforming a house for Magdalena, a homeowner who was struggling to find the resources to rebuild. Magdalena approached Joplin Area Habitat for Humanity and through an application process was selected as a partner family. We look forward to informing the community on this exciting venture and in our intent to continue to collaborate for the betterment of the community.

Carthage Technical Center believes that each student should acquire the knowledge, skills and abilities of their chosen career. That all students be given the opportunity to improve their leadership abilities, develop a positive attitude, establish good human relations, and determine their goals in life based on rational thinking. Technical education is an integral part of the total education program and contributes toward the development of good citizens by upgrading their physical, social, civic, cultural, economic, and technical competencies.

Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. Joplin Area Habitat for Humanity began in 1989, and has built 186 homes and made over 500 repairs for homeowners with housing needs.

"The Carthage Chamber has made an impressive impact on my business with the constant events and advertising opportunities they provide throughout the year. The Chamber staff is always willing to help promote any activity I may be having at my store. Small Business Saturday is a prime example!"

Willy Waggoner – Owner of Boomer’s BBQ & Catering

"Although I had experience in my field, I didn’t have many Carthage connections. Attending chamber events and helping on committees has introduced me to potential clients, affiliates, and friends. Those relationships have helped my business grow faster than I would have without help from the Carthage Chamber. "

Tyler Smith – Senior Vice President at Southwest Missouri Bank

"What began as a business partnership with the Chamber has truly developed into some amazing interpersonal relationships with Chamber staff and other members. There are so many great nonprofit organizations in our area. I am thankful that my relationship with the Chamber has allowed me to be "top-of-mind" with a growing group of people."

Mike Brown – Executive Director at Big Brother’s Big Sisters of Jasper and Newton Counties

"The networking opportunities, resources, and support provided have been invaluable in helping promote and grow the YMCA brand in our community. Julie and her team are detailed and always fun to work with. I highly recommend becoming a chamber member to any business looking to establish strong connections and achieve long-term success in Carthage, MO."

Jonathan Roberts – CEO/Executive Director at the Fair Acres Family YMCA

"During an event at the Phelps House, a TV station news reporter showed up, camera in tow, and asked for an interview. I asked the reporter how he heard about the event - I'd been so busy and hadn't thought about notifying the TV stations. The reporter commented that they look through local Chamber event notices to see what's happening in the area that would be of interest to their viewing audience. We received a TV promotion and free advertisement thanks to the Carthage Chamber helping to spread the word about our events!"

Tommie Baldwin – Manager at the Phelps House
