WBA: Giving Back by Mentoring

At WBA, giving back to the community is one of the firm's core values. We understand that as professionals we need to share our success and skills with the community. We are proud of our very own Jeremy Cutts and Sharon Hughes who volunteer as mentors for the Birmingham chapter of the ACE  Mentor Program of America.

Along with other professionals in the area, they mentor local high school students throughout the school year and guide them on projects relating to engineering, building and design. These projects include planning city layouts, designing roads and building a gingerbread house. 

In an urban planning exercise, the students' neighborhood revitalization proposed design.

The students put their design and building skills to use in a friendly gingerbread house competition.
