Plans may change, but progress doesn’t stop—sometimes it just takes a new direction

Andrew recently connected with students in Mr. Larsh’s class at San Juan High School, leading conversations around future goals, real-world advice, and hands-on construction career pathways. The focus was on helping students see what’s possible beyond the classroom.

It was great to return and see the progress these future builders have made since our last visit. Moments like these show the impact of staying engaged and supporting the next generation.

Today’s BITA Big Skills Live Build Day in Antioch High came together in a strong way.

Students in motion, hands on tools, learning in real time - the kind of work that speaks for itself.

Special thank you to Lennar for their continued support, and Rebuilding Together East Bay Network for being incredible partners in the building of the ADUs.
