Generations Southeast Prince of Wales Island Carpentry Class

It's a smaller class, so you're able to like get more guidance. It's a great opportunity because they really work with you on your needs and your wants. The thing that they always tell us, like, we will all succeed, and you know, that's nice to hear that they believe in us, actually believe in us. This is the first construction class for adults, and then our hope is to have this as a regional educational hub. I have two little girls, and this is like my opportunity to really take care of them.

I needed skills to get a better job, support my wife and son. Being here, single mother, being able to support your child is really important. So I just thought, you know, what, what, what do I want to do? And so how am I going to succeed as a single parent? And so working here with Chaz And I kept saying, you know, I would love to build tiny houses.

I want to build a tiny house. That's what I want to do. Everything is going to start with affordable housing. Any community economic development depends on affordable housing.

And who builds those is carpenters.
