LEARNING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

ALA is excited to kick-off the second year of our partnership with Kingdom Workers. We are a host site for their Build Up program.

What is the Build Up program? The purpose of the Build Up program is to connect high school students with Christian men and women who work (or have worked) in various trades jobs. The adults teach, train, & mentor students in carpentry, electrical, HVAC, plumbing and more through hands-on projects. Opportunities exist to encourage and build up teens in their faith as well.

Mr. Roger Wendt and his team of 13 adult mentors have some exciting plans for the new school year. With the assistance of ALA students, they plan to build a temporary structure which will serve as a workplace and storage area for their tools. Additional plans would engage ALA students in putting their newly acquired skills into practice by helping needy or elderly homeowners with minor repairs or improvements to their homes.

Thanks to the generous people who love Jesus and the Build Up program, there is no cost for your teen to participate! Watch this short video to hear what some of our students had to say about the program.

Our first Build Up day is scheduled for Saturday, September 23. We will meet on campus beginning at 8 am and end around noon. Please arrive shortly before 8.

If your son or daughter is interested in participating in Build Up, please complete the following steps.

1. Email Mr. Priebe (Priebe@ALAcoyotes.org) to let him know that your son or daughter plans on participating on September 23.
