Community-driven. Future-focused.

Tupper Community Builders exists to invest in the people and potential of Tupper Lake on two fronts: connecting young residents with skilled trades and the career pathways needed to fill critical regional jobs — in fields ranging from construction and engineering to healthcare and beyond — and strengthening the community itself so that Tupper Lake continues to be a place people choose to stay, return to, and call home.

We believe that workforce opportunity and community vitality reinforce each other, and that building both is the surest path to lasting growth.

TCB is a nonprofit in formation, operating under fiscal sponsorship of the Adirondack Community Foundation, and led by a volunteer steering committee and contracted Executive Director.

Workforce & Career Pathways

Connecting young residents with trades careers and the pathways needed to fill critical regional jobs — in construction, engineering, healthcare, and beyond.

Young Resident Retention

Building the conditions that make Tupper Lake a place people choose to stay, return to, and call home.

Community Project Facilitation

Identifying, funding, and managing projects that strengthen the social and economic fabric of our community.

Tech Room Transformation

TCB's inaugural project puts our mission into action — transforming the Tupper Lake Central School District's existing Tech Room into a modern, fully equipped trades learning environment. Students will gain hands-on experience in construction and related fields, with direct connections to local contractors and real career pathways in the region.

The project will expand awareness of trades careers among students while engaging local contractors as mentors and partners.
