Maine Cabin Masters

Making Home Possible.

CES partnered with Kennebec Cabin Company — the crew behind Maine Cabin Masters — and thirty Maine businesses to build a tiny home for a young adult facing homelessness. Youth worked the build: framing, finishing, hauling, deciding.

The project brought real attention to youth homelessness in Franklin County, and gave young people the specific pride that only comes from building something that a person then lives in.

The episode — "Great Things in Small Packages" — brought real attention to youth homelessness in Franklin County, and gave young people the specific pride that only comes from building something that a person then lives in.

The short version.

The Center for Entrepreneurial Studies is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit at 156 Main Street, Farmington, Maine. It began in 2018 as a project inside a Mount Blue High School classroom — created by students, for students. It took its Main Street store space in March 2020, fourteen days before the state shut down — before the store had officially opened.

CES serves young people aged 10 to 24 through entrepreneurship education, workforce readiness and leadership development, delivered across a retail store, a makerspace, six acres of land at 157 Whittier Road, and a set of youth-run workforce teams. It was the first WIOA worksite in Franklin County.
