YouthBuild
YouthBuild is a youth empowerment and development program that serves 18-24 year-olds that did not finish high school. Through education, training, and community-based learning, students get their GED, gain skills, credentials, and certifications that eventually lead to gainful employment.
Our mission is to provide “opportunity youth” services through transformation and support. Students are supported through education, training, motivation, and work skills necessary to succeed in life.
The program offers case managers, mentorship and employment preparation. YouthBuild wants all students to realize their potential and succeed! We build your confidence, so you can build YOUR FUTURE!
