Classes are officially BACK and we've got some fantastic courses lined-up this spring. But first, we'd like to share a very exciting announcement:
Starting this month and continuing forward, ReBuilding Center will be offering BIPOC-only classes for our students of color. As we continue to build a more equitable community, ReBuilding Center recognizes the need for BIPOC safe and centered spaces. To address common questions regarding our BIPOC class series, the education team has created a brief FAQ list:
What is a BIPOC student?
Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) are anyone who identifies as Black, Native American, Native Hawaiian, Alaskan Native, Desi, Asian, Pacific Islander, Middle-Eastern, Chicanx or Latinx.
Can non-BIPOC folks still sign up for BIPOC classes?
No, but please check our calendar for other available classes.
Isn't this racist?
Good question! No, in fact it's actually an anti-racist practice to create space for BIPOC folks to learn about carpentry and home repair in a space where they are centered. We have many other classes for our white friends and community members to choose from.
ReBuilding Center is excited to create meaningful spaces for the communities we hope to serve. We appreciate and value your support!
