MEMBERS! We are gearing up for our third year of workforce development programming with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Fort Wayne. Beginning Thursday, September 3, we need HBA volunteers to work with middle-school age students who are interested in learning more about construction trades. Volunteers will assist the students in building co****le board sets, which the students can then take home to enjoy with their families.

Weekly sessions run 5-6:30pm, and we will need 3-5 members each week. Full program dates are listed in the 2nd slide, or can be found in the August issue of Connections. Please contact Rebecca at the HBA office if you're interested in volunteering or learning more about the program.
