We are proud to celebrate #CareersInConstructionMonth with Lowe's Companies, Inc. , and share the story of Lawrence Spikes, a carpentry instructor at Legacy Institute for Financial Empowerment in Lufkin, Texas. Drawing on 25+ years of work experience in the field, Spikes teaches a free carpentry training program supported by LISC and Lowe’s Foundation that pairs skills training with job placement and financial coaching services. It’s a model that gives his students a leg up with potential employers, plus the financial know-how to make the most of their new incomes. Thank you, Lawrence Spikes, for all you do to connect East Texas communities to #CareersinConstruction ! Rural LISC

Alondra González worked in customer service in the restaurant industry until last February, when she became a LISC AmeriCorps member in the Economic Mobility Corps (EMC) supported by Citi Foundation. As a community education officer at GUBECOOP , a savings and credit cooperative in Santurce, Puerto Rico, González is getting a taste of what it’s like to work in the field of community development. The experience is proving to be a valuable resume builder for González. At GUBECOOP, she is organizing community engagement activities to help recruit new members. She also teaches financial education sessions, and helped lead a used car financing event (public transportation is scarce on the island, particularly in rural areas, and even people living on very low incomes are dependent on cars). 📽 Hear what González has to say about her AmeriCorps experience and the crucial role GUBECOOP plays in helping community members build financial stability. --- Alondra González trabajó en atención al cliente en la industria de restaurantes hasta febrero pasado, cuando se convirtió en miembro de LISC AmeriCorps en el Cuerpo de Movilidad Económica (EMC) apoyado por la Fundación Citi. Como Oficial de Educación Comunitaria en GUBECOOP, una cooperativa de ahorro y crédito en Santurce, Puerto Rico, González está experimentando lo que es trabajar en el campo del desarrollo comunitario. La experiencia está demostrando ser un valioso aporte para el currículum de González. En GUBECOOP, está organizando actividades de participación comunitaria para ayudar a reclutar nuevos miembros. También imparte sesiones de educación financiera y ayudó a dirigir un evento de financiación de automóviles usados (el transporte público es escaso en la isla, particularmente en las áreas rurales, e incluso las personas que viven con ingresos muy bajos dependen de los automóviles). Escuche lo que González tiene que decir sobre su experiencia en AmeriCorps y el papel crucial que desempeña GUBECOOP para ayudar a los miembros de la comunidad a generar estabilidad financiera.
