The Mechanics of Success

Vehicles for Change

A car can be a second chance: that’s the framework of Vehicles for Change, a nonprofit that repairs donated cars and awards them to low-income families at a fraction of their market value. Repairs are completed by participants in Full Circle, a job-training program for people returning from prison.

We hear from founder Marty Schwartz and from Perry Spain, who finished the program and is on his way to becoming a master mechanic. Original air date 3.12.19
