(Continued from page 1) “I worked for eight months while I was preg- nant,” Dahl’ana says. It was not easy and yet, “This was just what I needed for my future.” Heart of Oregon YouthBuild is a yearlong program, requiring a seri- ous commitment. While difficult, the challenge can be inspiring. At the rib- bon-cutting last week, con- struction manager James Collins recalled 2017 YouthBuild g raduate Rodger Jack. Mr. Jack would drive to the construction site in Madras from his home in Simnasho. “He had a 95 percent attendance rate,” Collins said. Rodger earned national recognition, earning the Heart of Oregon Spirit of Service of Award. He re- ceived the award at the cer- emony in Rhode Island. “He was very proud of that award, as well he should be,” Mr. Collins said. YouthBuild graduates often go on to successful careers in construction, he said. The 2018 YouthBuild students are Dahl’ana and Selena, Elysebeth Scott- Boise, Kristan Smith, Chance Stwyer, Devon Suppah, Ulyssa Suppah and Trinite Tall.
