For more information and registration, please e-mail Steve Eisenbach-Budner at St...@tivnu.org as soon as possible but at least by June 24 . Space is Limited.
Tivnu: Building Justice inspires and strengthens participants' passion for lifelong Jewish social justice work through building structures, building community, study and advocacy. Visit us at www.Tivnu.org (as of June 6)
Steve Eisenbach-Budner is the founder of Tivnu: Building Justice. He began his construction career in Israel over 25 years ago and is currently a construction trainer and site supervisor with Portland YouthBuilders, a job-training program.
The Capaces Leadership Institute will serve PCUN (www.pcun.org) and its eight sister organizations by providing a place in which the leadership capacity of theWillamette Valley Latino community will be developed and strengthened, enabling it to sustain and expand the farmworker movement. The Institute will be built almost exclusively with volunteer labor. It will have a living roof and be the first Passive commercial building to be built in the United States. "PassivHaus" design renders up to 90% energy savings compared to today's standard construction techniques.
