There is an undeniable need to provide vocational training, guidance and community building to a population that needs to work and is not currently prepared to. Future Build provides a minimum of 40 East County young adults annually, with 16+ weeks of pre-apprenticeship training in the building trades, solar theory and installation, construction, and hazardous waste. Future Build provides a “life changing experience” for the trainees that leads to re-engagement in the workforce and post-

secondary educational opportunities.
