Automotive Trades Foundation (ATF) is dedicated to ensuring that young people get the best possible education, training and preparation for continued education and a full range of careers within the automotive industry.

The result of an ongoing partnership between businesses and public schools in Montgomery County, ATF provides students with unparalleled classroom instruction and hands-on experience in the maintenance, repair, sales and marketing of automobiles. The ATF program is administered by the Montgomery County Students Automotive Trades Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization serving Montgomery County businesses and students since 1978.

The MCSATF is in need of vehicle donations to support our automotive programs which serve approx. 350 high school students in the Montgomery County Pubilc School system. Your donation will help us continue to provide valuable training for our students. The vehicles donated allow students the opportunity to learn through our "Mini-Dealership" model. This is a student run business that evaluates and refurbishes donated vehicles to be marketed by students and resold back to the public. Learn more about this program by visiting our "Buying/Donating" link.
