Built by Students. Backed by Community.
Build Forward SB gives South Bend students the opportunity to learn by doing through real residential construction experience. Built through a long-standing partnership between education and community support, the program helps students gain practical exposure to the trades while working toward something tangible and lasting.
A Program with Purpose
Build Forward SB exists to give students the chance to learn construction by doing it. Through the program, students step beyond the classroom and into the full process of building a home, working alongside instructors and licensed professionals while gaining practical experience they can carry into the trades and beyond.
