Mission Statement
The We Shall Overcome Foundation is dedicated to providing physical, social, educational, and economic resources for poor, marginalized, ignorant, abused, neglected, and oppressed people.
About This Cause
Since 2014, through our Cincinnati Construction Academy (CCA) program, We Shall Overcome Foundation has improved the odds for inner-city youth, minorities, and "second chance citizens" by providing high-quality pre-apprenticeship carpentry and construction-trades training, mentorship, supportive services, and job placement assistance. Cincinnati Construction Academy (CCA) is a recognized Ohio Apprenticeship Council, and Ohio Department of Education Pre-Apprenticeship training program. Through city-wide urban and community outreach networks we've established over a decade, CCA finds, qualifies, and recruits minority youth, young adults, and "Returning Citizens" from Greater Cincinnati and Hamilton County’s most underserved communities, and provides them with high-quality construction training, mentorship, and job placement services. Once trained and work-ready, we present our graduates directly to top-quality commercial and residential construction industry employers. CCA’s Pre-apprenticeship training standards and state-accredited curriculum has been developed in close collaboration with the Ohio State Apprenticeship Council, The Indiana Kentucky Ohio Regional Council of Carpenters, and the Ohio Department of Education. High school students who complete our full programs are eligible for up to 12 points toward their high school graduation requirements. Credentials obtained by our participants are recognized by the Ohio Department of Education, Ohio State Apprenticeship. Council, The Indiana Kentucky Ohio Regional Council of Carpenters, the University System of Ohio, and the Ohio Department of Education.
