Renewal by Andersen of Central PA has teamed up with Students from the Steelton/Highspire All You Can Leadership Academy for a really cool hands-on life skills project the past two months after school every week at the Renewal Warehouse in Harrisburg. Renewal created this fun and meaningful mentoring project especially for AYC’s students after partnering with the organization since last Summer’s Back to School Drive and hosting the students for field trips.
You are invited:
WEDNESDAY, 5/1, 3-5 p.m.
RbA & AYC will work on the final finishing aspects of the wall and window installation project together at the RbA Warehouse, 808 S. 26th Street, Harrisburg.
THURSDAY, 5/2, 3-5 p.m.
RbA Showroom, 4856 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg
Renewal by Andersen of Central PA will host a special graduation celebration for AYC Academy students who participated in the special Jr. Apprentice Window Installer Program.
“Our class graduates the Renewal by Andersen of Central Pennsylvania Jr. Window Installer Program on May 2nd. Saying I’m proud, would be an understatement. It’s been so rewarding seeing the progress the All You Can Inc. Leadership Academy students from Steel-High have made during our window workshop. After building a window frame, the kids got to drywall and are working on window installation. Thank you Renewal by Andersen of Central Pennsylvania for these amazing sessions,” said Ralph Rodriquez, All You Can.
Over the past few months, students in the Jr. Window Installation Program learned how to measure, use tools, and insulate, foam and caulk their walls. Once the drywall went up, the project came to life. Next, the kids tackled installing a window.
During one class, one of the students said, “Mr Ralph, I think I know what I want to do now. Yup, Construction is for me.”
“Seeing these students work alongside our Renewal Team every week, building, and learning valuable life and work skills is truly uplifting and so special. Our entire Renewal Team has enjoyed helping to mentor and provide an opportunity for these kids to succeed and offer an inside look at our industry. We believe in investing in the future of our youth,” said Linda Johnston, Chief Culture Officer, RbA.
