Meet Damian
Damian spent the summer of 2025 working alongside CSL's general contractor, Dan Speigel of Exceptional Spaces. Damian was learning the trade the best way possible: by doing the work.
"I didn't really know what to expect at first," Damian said. "But once I got out here and started working, I realized this is something I'm good at—and something I actually enjoy doing."
Today, Damian is back on CSL’s job site, helping build our next phase of affordable homes. With your support, more students can follow Damian's path and more local families can find a place to call home.
