We are training your best
construction workers.
EZRA52 supports refugees and immigrants in the Memphis community by preparing them for jobs in the construction industry.
Many of these workers have had building experience in their home countries. What they need most are English classes and hands-on training to adapt and enhance their skills to American standards.
Reviving neighborhoods and job prospects.
E52 provides this opportunity by buying houses in marginal to stable neighborhoods in Memphis and Shelby County. Our trainees learn by doing. Working alongside volunteer and paid professionals, language and cultural barriers disappear, community is established, and skills are honed quickly. Through intensive training, these eager workers are ready for your construction sites, and remodeled homes are available for sale to help improve neighborhoods.

Working alongside volunteer and paid professionals allows our trainees to be submersed in the culture and American construction processes. Thus, language and cultural barriers disappear, community is established, and skills are honed quickly.
