Off-Campus learning

Current Juniors & Seniors ONLY!

Through a collaboration with Habitat for Humanity, the Greater Cedar Rapids Housing & Building Association, and Workplace Learning Connection, the Cedar Rapids Community School District begins its second year participating in the Students Build Community internship. During the course of the 2023-2024 school year, students will build a home for a local family while  learning from industry experts, gaining construction-related skills, and giving back. The construction-related skills include all aspects of building, project management, interior design, and landscaping. 

Students earn elective credits, complete OSHA10 training, and will build a network of references for future opportunities. 

The internship meets Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM, following all CRCSD breaks, delays, etc. Transportation will be provided through CRCSD district vans with all tools and equipment provided by Habitat for Humanity. The first class will meet on Thursday, August 24.

If you are interested, please connect with your school counselor (add as a request to Google Form during schedule changes) or email ttroester@crschools.us
