We are so grateful to everyone who came out to Cal Homes Co in San Diego, participated in the opportunity drawings, and showed up to support our mission.

Because PWP generously donated 100% of the proceeds directly to FCL, we are able to continue providing amazing opportunities for young people to learn about and build career possibilities in construction.

Last month, we brought the construction and education sectors together at IDEA Center High School for an incredible roundtable on shaping the future of CTE programs.

We also proudly presented the IDEA Center Construction program with a special grant to support their hands-on projects.

A huge congratulations to the instructors and students for their hard work and success! And a heartfelt thank you to our amazing community of sponsors and donors for helping us fund these vital milestones.

Our annual FCL Camp Teen Girls - San Diego was an absolute triumph! This year’s powerhouse crew included 57 first-time apprentices exploring the trades and 53 returning journeywomen who crushed their weeklong design-build project: upgrading our signature lemonade stands with side coolers and sinks.

This incredible week wouldn't have been possible without our amazing community of volunteers and sponsors who dedicated their time and resources to keeping camp running smoothly.

Scroll down to check out our incredible sponsors, whose investment made this year possible.
