Dear Builders of the Future,

Thank you so much for the amazing hands-on opportunity you gave me to further my building skills through the construction of the playhouse last winter. I Enjoyed getting to frame, sheet, shingle, waterproof, side, and paint a playhouse. A couple months after completing the it, I got a job doing all the same things I did on the playhouse, and I love it! I am extremely grateful to Builders of the Future for allowing me to participate in this project.

The Builders of The Future Testimonial

At Goodwill’s YouthBuild program, we pride ourselves on connecting our young people with the community at large. The Builders of the Future/Builder Foundation program has done that for us in a way we never thought possible. This year’s Solar Clubhouse project exceeded our own expectations, thanks to The Builders of the Future. The high quality materials provided by the sponsors were crucial in making the construction training process flow with ease. Getting hands on experience with real modern construction products really expands how we can teach. Partnering with our mentor Jerry Ramm of Ramm Construction was crucial to help fill in our knowledge gaps as teachers and his hands on work with the students was great. It does not get better than having one of Omaha’s top home builders in our classroom on a consistent basis providing a positive message through hands on teaching. The Builders of the Future has and will continue to put the long-term success of our students first. Kirk Skiles and Steve Skidmore are always encouraging and respectful with our students because they truly believe in them. Kirk and Steve see limitless future in young people even when they lack the confidence to see it for themselves.
