This unique construction camp will introduce girls to the opportunities that will await them within the construction industry. Please join members of ACE Mentor Program, Associated Builders & Contractors Eastern PA Chapter, and CSI Greater Lehigh Valley Chapter to support and inspire the youth in our Lehigh Valley community.
The goal is to ignite the spark within the girls to explore additional skill training in our local career technical schools, and post-secondary training with a local craft training program, two-year and/or four-year college path in engineering, architecture, construction management, or any other construction-related major.
We hope you will join with us in this positive effort to introduce girls to the world of construction by becoming a sponsor of the Let’s Build Construction Camp. Your support is needed to ensure the camp is FREE of any charge to the families. Thank you in advance for your consideration to support this inspirational camp.
Proceeds raised will benefit the Let’s Build Construction Camp for Girls and the ACE Mentor Program-Lehigh Valley Chapter. ACE Mentor Program is a 501c3 non-profit organization, and your donation is tax-deductible.
