If we don\u2019t act now, we won\u2019t have enough healthcare workers, plumbers, electricians, firefighters, construction workers, automotive technicians, and advanced manufacturing workers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The foundation is helping open doors to promising careers through schools such as Tarrant County College and certificate programs.<\/p>\n<p>The first four recipients, who received their $1,000 scholarships on May 5, had completed the Momentum Generations mentorship program with 6 Stones Mission Network in Euless. Of the four, three graduated from Euless Trinity High School, and the fourth graduated from KEYS High School. They were joined during the check presentations by Theo Bray, the 6 Stones Momentum Generations Coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/fortworthmovingnews.com\/?p=249\">MCADAMS TAPS LONGTIME COMPANY LEADER RYAN AKERS TO LEAD DFW METRO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>On May 12, another KEYS High School graduate joined an L.D.
