What it does

The mission of unCommon Construction Inc is to provide high school students with the skills and resources to follow the college and career path of their choice; bridge the skills and achievement gap by providing critical soft skill training on an active residential construction site; build character and accountability by creating platforms for learning and growth on active construction sites; and create awareness, expose and foundational experience to students with a range of ambitions, abilities and interest. Uncommon Construction accomplishes its mission through the construction of homes in Orleans Parish and other development opportunities.

Apprenticeship Program: Students from different high schools across New Orleans come together to earn hourly pay and school credit for building a house in a semester. On Saturday, apprentices collaborate on site with staff and community volunteers to complete various construction projects. Apprentices gain additional leadership development and industry exposure through a range of activities, trainings and field trips.
