Teens learn teamwork building homes By Frank Bentayou
Students in school programs have built 10 houses over the years, and all have sold quickly to eager families, generally before they're completed, says Darryl Kleinhenz, who coordinates the 7-year-old program for the city of Akron.
'It's a valuable program for so many reasons,' he says. Students get hands-on experience; a neighborhood gets a solid, new house where there had been a derelict structure or nothing at all; trades get skill training for the next generation of union members; the city gets a tax boost; a family gets a home.------------------------------------------- posted 7:26 AM :: reference link ::
