The LIME Foundation

The LIME Foundation These are populations that are in dire need of roof and other repairs, but because of financial lack, they continue to suffer through severe disrepair.

The LIME Foundation has three principal program pillars: NextGen Trades Academy to support job placement and workforce development for youth ages 16-24, Turner Arts Initiative for youth arts development, and Senior Activities Program for senior health. After years as a successful small business owner (ARS Roofing), LIME Foundation’s Founder, Letitia Hanke, recognized that she was totally missing

vast groups of disadvantaged seniors, the disabled, veterans and low-income families. It is because of this, that she formed The LIME Foundation. In addition to our premier agenda (Roofing & Construction Vocational Program (RCVP)), The LIME Foundation offers a youth arts program (Turner Arts Initiative), and services for seniors (Senior Activities Program) with future programs planned to further empower youth and the disadvantaged. Our mission to is to empower seniors, youth and low-income families with their struggles in life.

That’s a wrap on our latest cohort at Elsie Allen High School! Swipe through to see our incredible students in action as they dive headfirst into the world of skilled trades.

At The LIME Foundation, we believe that empowering the next generation means giving them direct, hands-on exposure to real career pathways. Through our NextGen Trades Academy, we don’t just teach out of a textbook, we bring the industry straight to the classroom.

During this cohort, students had the invaluable opportunity to learn directly from premier local contractors and industry professionals. From understanding structural blueprints to mastering the tools of the trade, they gained real-world insights, built confidence, and discovered what it takes to turn a skilled trade into a thriving career.

A massive thank you to the local contractors who took time out of their busy schedules to mentor these students, and to Santa Rosa City Schools for their amazing collaboration. The future of the North Bay workforce is looking bright! 🌟

At the NextGen Trades Academy, we don’t just start with big buildings, we start with big skills! Ever wonder why our students begin their journey with birdhouses? It’s because the best way to learn the trades is by doing. 🛠️

These projects serve as a "mini-classroom" for construction. While they might look small, these houses are packed with lessons in precision, measurement, and tool safety. By building these from scratch, our students:

✅ Gain hands-on confidence with power tools like miter saws and drills.
✅ Practice the art of precision: mastering the "measure twice, cut once" rule.
✅ Understand structural integrity and the fine details of assembly.
✅ Turn raw lumber into a finished product they can truly be proud of.

We love seeing the pride on their faces when the final piece fits together perfectly. It’s all about building a foundation of confidence; once you master the details of a birdhouse, you’re ready to take on the world of the trades! It’s not just a birdhouse, it’s the first tangible step toward a lifelong career in the industry.
