HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — The North Alabama Homebuilding Academy (NAHA) is partnering with Girls Inc. of Huntsville for its 4th annual summer camp.
According to NAHA, participants in Girls Inc.’s Eureka! Program will visit NAHA every Thursday in June to learn about career opportunities in construction from local female industry leaders.
Tommy Davis, Executive Director of NAHA, says the experience is valuable for the girls involved because of the opportunities it provides.
“This camp highlights the career opportunities that are available to them in the homebuilding industry. It has been very rewarding to hear participants say to us, ‘I could do this!’ when looking ahead to their future career goals,” said Davis.
Additionally, participants will also learn real-world construction skills and techniques by building an indoor playhouse for Kids to Love.
“We are so excited that Girls Inc. and the North Alabama Homebuilding Academy chose Kids to Love as their playhouse project recipient! When our team of case managers and therapists welcome children and families into our space, we want them to feel safe and loved. But we also want kids to be kids. This new playhouse will be such a fun addition to our Kids to Love Campus,” says Kids to Love Founder/CEO Lee Marshall.
The girls are scheduled to visit the Kids to Love main office to assemble the playhouse on Thursday, June 27 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
