What is YouthBuild?
YouthBuild is an alternative education program for young people who have a high school diploma or GED. The primary target populations for YouthBuild are out-of-school youth and other at-risk populations ages 17-24. The program focuses on leadership development, financial literacy, and academic enhancement, technical skills training in construction, community service, and support from staff and students committed to each other's success.
Every participant will have the opportunity to receive stackable, portable, and industry-recognized credentials through National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER).
