Join us for our inaugural Greensboro SBTC Graduation Ceremony! Celebrating our trailblazing cohort & our expansion success.

This event is a celebration of the Community Champions who have made significant contributions to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and Affordable Housing in Charlotte. It aims to honor the equitable impact these leaders have fostered within the community. As a highlight, the event will feature a Work Wear Fashion Show, where staff, pre-apprentices, apprentices, and SBTC alumni will take to the runway, showcasing construction workwear essential to their trade. The venue for this prestigious event is The Revelry at Camp North End, known for its dynamic atmosphere. We will be honoring a trio of distinguished honorees who stand out as the leading affordable housing developers in Charlotte, recognized for their commitment to creating equitable opportunities in the city. Hosting the event is the vibrant and engaging MC Ohavia Phillips, who will undoubtedly add energy and charisma to the proceedings.

We are set to embark on a transformative community project that not only aims to unite volunteers but also provides essential amenities to Habitat for Humanity homeowners and various local non-profits. This initiative is an open opportunity for everyone to contribute to organizations in dire need by constructing picnic tables and benches. Our collective goal is to build 15 benches and 10 picnic tables, with each piece symbolizing a step towards positive change in our community. Adding to the excitement, we've invited esteemed representatives from Lowe's as guest motivators for our Community Build Day. Their presence is bound to infuse the event with additional inspiration and expert guidance. Moreover, we will be graced by a guest appearance from our very first SBTC Apprentice, whose journey and experience will undoubtedly resonate with and motivate our volunteers as we undertake this impactful journey of community unity.

Join us for a critical and timely Maternity Leave Symposium aimed at addressing the challenges faced by working women in construction in North Carolina, which ranks lowest in the country for working conditions for women. This event is a call to action for all stakeholders to come together and forge a path toward better support and policies for maternity leave and beyond. Explore actionable strategies and the pivotal role of healthcare advocacy in shaping a supportive environment for working women. This discussion will cover a broad spectrum of issues from crafting effective maternity leave plans to integrating considerations for adoption and elder care.

In addition to the sign, a strategically placed bench has been introduced for the community's children, offering a spot for morning waits for the school bus. The official installation ceremony for these significant additions is set for Wednesday, October 11th, underscoring Pottstown's importance and its residents' valued place in history and the future. 101 Huntersville-Concord Road Huntersville, NC 28078
