New Online Video Features Building Futures Program Grads, Shows How Contributions Matter

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Without the Building Futures (BF) Pre-Apprenticeship program “I would not have had the opportunity to become an electrician,” BF graduate Lisa Kenner (right) says in a new video produced by the IBEW's media department. The Community Services Agency’s program “pretty much built my future,” Kenner adds. “They built the bridge for me to advance to where I want to be.” Other BF graduates explain how the program changed their lives in the 3:35-minute video, which the IBEW produced as part of its United Way campaign ("IBEW Leads United Way Labor Division," UC 11/29/2012). “It’s so important that people contribute,” said CSA’s Client Services Coordinator Sylvia Casaro Dietert.
