Project Youthbuild

Project YouthBuild is an educational, occupational, and leadership program for young people with low incomes who have dropped out of school. Students have the opportunity to earn their high school diploma, multiple nationally recognized construction or CNA credentials, and a post-secondary scholarship; all while giving back to their community.

How It Works
Project YouthBuild students go through a competitive application process to be accepted into the program to ensure they are fully committed to their personal success. During the course of this intensive 9-month program, students spend 50% of their time in the classroom working on their diploma coursework, 40% of their time rehabilitating low-income housing, and 10% of their week in leadership activities.

Project YouthBuild operates a Parenting Program with support services, education, resources, and play groups. Programming will take place in person and some opportunities for online as well. We are beginning a new program year January 2022, and accepting new participants. Must be a low-resource parent between the ages of 16-24. Email or call if you are interested!
