Home Building Education for Tomorrow

The Home Builders Foundation is committed to providing educational opportunities, mentorship and training for tomorrow’s workforce in the construction industry.  Each year the HBF awards tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships for high school students entering college and post-secondary students in construction-related programs.

Mentors are provided for many scholarship recipients, and the HBF funds projects that support educational programs related to home building such as the Portland Youth Builders Programs (at-risk youth) and the Portland Children’s Museum’s Building Bridgetown Exhibit. These efforts, as well as support for local construction programs like the Northwest College of Construction, introduce young people to careers available in the home building industry, support their educational efforts, and ensure that a quality workforce will be available for the industry’s future.

To date, the HBF has awarded more than $140,000 in scholarships to local high school and college students.
