From providing food and clothing… to offering counseling, life skills, and support when it’s needed most—we’re here for every step of the journey.
But the real stories?
They’re the ones you don’t always see.
💙 The family who found stability again
💙 The individual who gained confidence and purpose
💙 The neighbor who just needed someone to believe in them
👉 Take a moment. Explore. Be inspired.

The first cohort will begin February 23rd and we are actively recruiting individuals who are interested in careers in manufacturing.

It is a “boot camp” training program, a 4-week, 130 hour, free pre-apprenticeship program and will be hosted at its new Lawrence campus at Shenango Commons.

There are field trips to local manufacturers for tours, hands on activities and instruction.

Participants need to have reliable transportation to/from BC3. You can earn up to $750, based on attendance (90%, $500) and retaining a manufacturing job for 30 days ($250) and gas cards or bus passes, if needed.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you.
