Habitat for Humanity taken one step farther.
Let’s turn every High School in America into an Apprenticeship Program for the Skilled Trades. We have a shortage of Skilled Tradesman and too many kids dropping out of High School. If every High School’s shop programs built and sold a 3 bedroom home, every school year, it becomes a self sustaining cost free program.
The second benefit is to provide an alternative class program for ‘at risk kids’ to keep them in school. They can learn framing, electrical, tile work, painting, sheetrock, plumbing, roofing, HVAC and all phases of home building. These kids can meet the local small business leaders and learn a new career. Small business’s are always looking for qualified apprentices, to grow their business.
This program would help keep these ‘at risk kids’ away from the streets and give them a Future that pays well and has job security. It would benefit the local housing market with a new entry level home for each high school in America, with out costing the tax payers, a dime.
