Design Your Life Spring Break Work Project
The goal of our Design Your Life class is to develop character in our students as well as to help them recognize their purpose and move on to develop a career pathway toward success. An equally important goal is to bless local businesses and corporations with employees of high character and quality. The Lord’s blessings can touch people on both sides of the employment fence at the same time.
The students in our weekly classes who are able to participate in the Spring Break Work Project are invited to work with an established company on a pre-arranged job site. We have done a number of different projects in the past, but this year we are partnering with Locke Buildings to erect a pole building for the family of one of our students. These projects have been highly effective in teaching the students work ethics, team work, the value of preparation and so much more.
Brianna Price is one of our Design Your Life students. She and her sister Alyssa board their horses on farms nearby. It has been their dream to have their beloved horses living, eating, playing, foaling and finding shelter on their family’s property. Alyssa’s horse is pregnant and is due to foal in May. The Spring Break Project, which Brianna will be helping to build, will mean Alyssa’s mare will have a stall that is suitable for her to foal in.
Here are the Project Details: Building is 20’x36’x13’4” with a single slope roof. Three 4’x8’ and one 12’x8’ slider doors. Students will be observing, learning and involved with the following construction skills: measuring and cutting 2×6 boards, framing walls, doors, and roof. Raising the roof using a strategic pulley system, drilling screw holes in metal to prepare for installation, installing metal siding and trim, as well as installing sliding door roller kits.
If you would like to sow seeds into students like Brianna, here’s how you can make a difference. You will be providing hope and a path for a student’s future by sponsoring a semester or an entire school year of Design Your Life classes.
