Building Great Futures Program

The Electrical League of Ohio is excited to support the Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity. The Building Great Futures Program is a training program to demonstrate to teens that rehabbing homes can transform futures. Building Great Futures is a collaboration between Boys and Girls Clubs of Cleveland, Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity, Youth Opportunities Unlimited and Cuyahoga County.

The program provides classroom training on safety, tool usage and home repair. It also provides the students on-site training in the construction trades. The goal is to introduce career opportunities and modeling good work ethic and behaviors. The program was very successful last two years and educated the students on financial literacy, personal stewardship, home ownership responsibilities and opportunities. Participant apply that classroom learning to rehab of Habitat homes in the ensuing weeks. .

Please join us in showing these young teens the great opportunities of what we do and how it can open doors to their future! There are opportunities for instruction, labor assistance, on-site volunteering or product sponsorship/student safety gear. Please contact terrihanna-wiehn@sbcglobal.net for more information.
