Skilled Trade Program Manager, Michael Romano (left) stands with some youth workers in the program in front of materials recently acquired to build a tiny home for Square One Villages in Eugene.
Riverfront School & Career Center’s Skilled Trades Program has begun working on building an entire tiny home that will eventually be placed on a site owned and operated by Square One Villages, another Eugene nonprofit that Looking Glass is collaborating with.
The tiny home construction is a summer project for students/workers enrolled in the program who will receive paid work experience while they learn valuable skills.
“Looking Glass Riverfront School is excited to be working in partnership with SquareOne to build a tiny home for people in need of housing,” said Riverfront School Director Cheryl Zwillinger. “Youth participate in rewarding, hands-on technical instruction providing them a pathway to higher paying in-demand jobs while simultaneously addressing in the needs of the unhoused people in Lane County.”
