An update after Hurricane Helene

Since Helene made its way into South Carolina on Friday, our team at Build Carolina has been checking in on each other, on our students and apprentices, mentors and others in our community.

We are grateful to report that all of our team members, current students and apprentices are safe, though many of us have been impacted by damaged homes, vehicles, power outages and more.

Our focus today is on supporting each other as we begin the recovery process. In the days ahead, we will adjust schedules, meetings, and priorities and communicate about those plans.

If you need any assistance at all - please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’re getting reports from across the state about spots that are open, powered up, and some that even have wi-fi! Whether you’re looking for information, need help, or want to help out, we are happy to help connect you with the best local resources.
