Constructing Hope

We are excited to share our conversation with Pat Daniels, the Founder and Executive Director of Constructing Hope.

Constructing Hope’s mission is to rebuild the lives of people in the Portland community by encouraging self-sufficiency through skills training and education in the construction industry. Constructing Hope provides no-cost, ten-week construction training programs, placement services, and career advancement to low-income people of color, youth, and formerly incarcerated people connected to careers in the construction industry.

Pat's stories about people improving their lives and the lives in our community are inspiring. Constructing Hope has a positive and profound impact on our community. 

We appreciate Pat taking the time to talk with us!
