This week, we had some very special guests from the Spirit Mountain Community Fund, who presented our Executive Director, Pat Daniels, with the Helping Hand (Ye Ian Lima) Award in recognition of her outstanding career and contributions.

As we wrap up 2024, we celebrate the incredible journeys of our four cohorts this year. Each trainee left their mark, gaining valuable skills and stepping into the construction industry with knowledge and excitement for their future careers.
