Part of Haven’s mission is to break down barriers for survivors of domestic abuse seeking help. And one way they’re doing this, is by building dog kennels to allow residents’ furry friends to join them in a safe space.
Frank Harriman, Director of the Building Trades Program at Gallatin College, says projects like this have an equal impact on students.
“I think it shows them that their impact can be greater than what we see every day. I think it’s a really good opportunity for the students to see that they can make measurable difference in someone’s life,” says Harriman.
