GIVE SOMEONE THEIR FIRST OPPORTUNITY.
When Trey Riley walked into Fortitude Careers, he was 18 years old and ready for an opportunity.
He completed Fortitude's Build Program in March, and earned a position as a Service Apprentice with Equity Residential.
Within 90 days, he was promoted.
And in August, Trey signed the lease to his first apartment.
Your gift helps create that first opportunity for the next young person ready to work, learn, and build.
“Fortitude is part of the reason I keep going. Even now, when I’m going through challenges, I always think of Fortitude!”

Your gift helps:
✓ Prepare the next generation of skilled trades professionals
✓ Provide industry-recognized certifications, including OSHA-10
