Welcome to Josiah!

Please join us as we welcome our Southwest Construction Coordinator Josiah Bargen to the Rebuilding Together Team! Josiah is a trained teacher who grew up in a construction family with a father and two brothers who have continued to work in the business. He will help our Southwest Program Manager and AmeriCorps member with planning, managing, and completing home repair and accessibility modification projects in our Southwest Minnesota region. He said, “While I’ve picked up a few things over the years, I certainly hope to learn all I can from them (my family), as well as everyone at RTMN, as I pivot to making this my primary work! It is good to work with one’s head and one’s hands!” Josiah is also passionate about building bridges between urban and rural areas to foster understanding and connectedness. We are excited to have him on our team!
