What We Do
Construction Skills Training.
We have a rare opportunity for a couple more people to take our Flagship Class that starts on March 18th! You will learn the basics of construction as you help build a small structure. Go to https://buildingbeyondthewalls.org/take-a-class/ and fill out an application today! Remember, the class is free but you must agree to give 50 hours back to the community.
In this class we will be working in partnership with LIHI (Low Income Housing Institute) to build a shelter for one of their transitional villages! Make a difference as you learn!
The Flagship Construction Training
is a free residential construction training program
Designed to give participants basic hands-on construction skills. Off ering the training at no cost allows a broader
participant pool to draw from and increases our ability to reach and serve people no matter their income.
Professional training programs are often cost prohibitive and the time commitment is much longer than our
eight day classes.
