A busy weekend!

COVER spent this last weekend on two different jobsites. Saturday was spent building a small structure to protect an oil tank from the snow that has knocked it over in the past. The homeowners family as well as a few stellar Dartmouth College staff helped in the hot weather. On Sunday we got a jump start on a wheel chair ramp that the Youth Corps team finished up in the remainder of the week. We were joined by the always eager Aquinas House from Dartmouth, as well as one of the home owners in the morning.

Youth Corps

COVER is well on its way through the first program year of our Youth Corps program. With a grant from the Department of Labor COVER has employed at risk youth from the area and is providing job training on COVER sites. The crews are working on two different sites, an addition on a small home, as well as a new porch. COVER work leaders are running the job sites and having a great time doing it. Structures are going up, roofs are on, and resumes are in the work, good things all around...
