    • About Us

    unCommon Construction is a nonprofit that uses the build process to empower youth to lead the workforce after high school or college. Through our apprenticeship program, students from different high schools join a diverse team to earn hourly pay, school credit, and “Equity Award” scholarships for building a house from start to finish. Over the course of 100 hours after school and on weekends in a real-world learning environment, apprentices develop skills and relationships that last as long as the house they use to build them.
