Meet Sandra, a resilient mother of three who transformed her life through the support of the Coalition for Responsible Community Development (CRCD) in South LA. The Century Community Fund has been a proud partner of CRCD, providing financing for CRCD Enterprises and contributing $30,000 in scholarships for CRCD Academy students in 2023. Seeking a new career, Sandra joined CRCD Enterprises, a general contracting firm focused on construction, public works, and community beautification. While working there, she learned about CRCD’s MC3 Construction Apprenticeship Readiness Program. To qualify, Sandra earned her high school diploma through CRCD Academy, which provides an expedited path for young people ages 16-24 to earn their diplomas. Today, Sandra works for a construction engineering company and is a member of the local laborers union, where she looks up to other women as role models. CRCD connected her with a union journeywoman mentor, helping Sandra pave the way for a brighter future for herself and her family.
