𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 🌿 ECC's ACES program was thrilled to partner with the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) for the 𝗚𝗶𝗿𝗹𝘀 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗟𝗔 initiative. This incredible program introduces young women to careers in construction, engineering, and related industries, paving the way for future leaders in these fields.

ACES staff played a crucial role by supporting the event and leading an engaging workshop titled “𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗗𝗼 𝗪𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝘁?” Students from Augustus Hawkins High School, Jefferson High School, and other schools from South Los Angeles participated. They explored how sustainable design can transform communities, making them healthier and more resilient.

This is more than just an educational experience; it's a step towards empowering young women to become the architects of a sustainable future. If you or someone you know is interested in participating next year, we encourage you to reach out to an ACES representative. Let's build together!
