Students from Portland Public Schools and the David Douglas School District are donning hard hats this summer to explore careers in construction through hands-on learning.
Portland students explore construction careers in summer program
Record 1,200+ volunteers serve Portland high school students through PWA
Some PWA volunteers are company leaders; others are just starting out. Either way, they share a common desire to help Portland teenagers gain access to good careers. (We often hear them saying, “I wish someone had helped ME figure this stuff out when I was in high school!”)
