We’re honored to be featured in the @chicagotribune in Edward Keegan’s piece, “Architecture becomes real through construction at Revolution Workshop.” This story beautifully captures what we’ve always believed, that when people are given the tools, space, and support to build, they transform not just structures, but themselves.

This recognition reflects the dedication of so many. Thank you to our incredible team, partners, funders, community and @futurefirm whose thoughtful design makes our space a truly inspiring place to learn.

We’re extremely grateful and more motivated than ever to keep building pathways to careers in the trades.

My 3rd year at @ujamaaconstruction’s annual March Madness event—and it finally clicked. It’s more than a tournament… it’s real brotherhood. From day one walking through those doors, they’ve shown what family in this industry really looks like. This is the side they don’t show on the news.
