This week the young women of the Triple Crown Academy from Baltimore are in DC building the show for Association of the United States Army - AUSA at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The experience has been memorable. Though the Triple Crown Academy is not in DC (yet!), we were honored to have Director Jennifer Porter and Deputy Director Kelley Dillon from the Office of Victim Services & Justice Grants, one of HER's DC grantors, stop by to meet the ladies, and to hear their experiences with the program. The fellows are learning how to use hand tools to build in the construction industry, while also gaining tools for advocacy through use of voice. Proud of you, ladies!

HER Resiliency Center is truly honored to have our Founder & President, Natasha Guynes, recognized as one of the Baltimore City Office of Equity and Civil Rights 2024 Community Leaders to Watch. Thank you, Mayor Brandon M. Scott for this incredible acknowledgment and for your continued support of organizations dedicated to improving the quality of life in Baltimore. Natasha Guynes! Your hard work does not go unnoticed. 💜

Week #5! We're more than halfway through the first general construction pre-apprenticeship cohort and 100% of the young women who started the cohort on September 7th are still committed to their education and career. We are incredibly proud of what they are accomplishing as they invest in their education by attending class each Saturday, and go to work as Trade Show Carpenters each weekday. Join us in wishing them success over the next three weeks as they complete their pre-apprenticeship program, apply to enter the Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters’ Trade Show apprenticeship program and become first year apprentices. Keep going ladies!

The first cohort of Triple Crown Academy is halfway through the hard skills component of our 18-month workforce development program. The hard skills general construction pre-apprenticeship program, or CARP led by the Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters and the MID-ATLANTIC CARPENTERS TRAINING CENTERS has opened doors, and access for marginalized young women in Baltimore City to gain careers in the construction trades and economic freedom. We're so proud of each young woman as she journey's the path to her career goals, and grateful to the Carpenters for the collaboration.

It's week three of classes for the first cohort of the Triple Crown Academy. We're so proud of their commitment to themselves and their journey. Last week, they started work as Tradeshow Carpenters with Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters with Local 491 on the Baltimore Comic-Con, and today, in class, they will take their OSHA10 test. Please join us in congratulate and wish them luck on their exam!
