CREW Careers Building Opportunities ®
CREW in the Community created this annual educational outreach event in 2004 and it became a program adopted by CREW Network Foundation and launched nationally. The Dallas program involves local high school students in a competition which focuses on the fundamentals of commercial real estate and the career opportunities within the industry. This one-day event allows the participating girls to tour a commercial property through the eyes of a developer and then work as a team to present their redevelopment concept to a panel of judges.
