Featured on 570 News with Mike Farwell

Legacy Builders was proud to be featured on 570 News with Mike Farwell, helping bring an important conversation about youth, education, and the future of construction to the broader community.

During the interview, we had the opportunity to share why Legacy Builders exists: to bridge the gap between classrooms and the construction industry by giving students real exposure to career pathways they may never have considered. From skilled trades to project management, design, engineering, finance, and beyond, construction offers meaningful, stable, and rewarding careers, and it starts with awareness.

We also spoke about the importance of industry involvement, mentorship, and showing up in schools to challenge outdated perceptions of construction work. Programs like Legacy Builders rely on collaboration between educators, volunteers, and industry partners who believe in investing time and knowledge into the next generation.

We’re grateful to 570 News and Mike Farwell for using their platform to spotlight this work and help amplify the message that construction is not just a job, it’s a career with purpose, impact, and long-term opportunity.

If you’re an industry professional or organization interested in getting involved, now is the time. The future of construction is already in our classrooms, and it’s up to us to help shape it.
