Mission
The Building Bridges Project is an innovative initiative of the Chicago Interfaith that organizes clergy and building trades leadership to collaborate towards two objectives:
- Increasing the community's knowledge of and access to building trades apprenticeship programs and;
- Encouraging local construction projects to use union labor that guarantees prevailing wages, family benefits and safe working conditions. Building Bridges Project trains individuals throughout different parts of the community to prepare to apply and take the test for various building trades construction apprenticeship programs.
