Why Your Gift Matters

Young adults transitioning from foster care, impacted by the justice system, or growing up in underserved communities often need more than a job opening.

Merge helps bring together training, mentorship, transportation support, employer connections, and continued coaching so a job opportunity can become a lasting career.

Edwin turned training into an apprenticeship.

After completing the Constructing Success Academy and earning his MC3 certification, Edwin secured one of 40 spots in the Western States Carpenters Pre-Apprenticeship Bootcamp.

He graduated at the top of his class and entered the Carpenters Union as an apprentice, showing what becomes possible when persistence meets strong community partnerships.

Help create the next career pathway.
