About this organization
Mission
The mission of American YouthWorks is to empower young people with opportunities to build careers, strengthen communities, and improve the environment through education, on-the-job training, and service to others.
About
The YouthBuild program is specifically designed to engage opportunity youth by blending academics, hands-on vocational training and community service; this is combined with guided connections to employment and post-secondary education and post-program support to improve retention and tracking. YouthBuild enrolls young people ages 17-24 who are disconnected from education and employment; most are low-income and face a variety of barriers to reconnecting, including homelessness, pregnancy or parenting, involvement in the criminal justice or foster care systems, mental health issues and learning disabilities. YouthBuild is a comprehensive, full-time program (M-F 8-4:30) offering a variety of vocational tracks, including health care, construction, and computer technology, combined with academics and the wrap-around support services disconnected youth need to be successful. Participants that complete YouthBuild graduate with industry-recognized certificates, college credits, scholarships and a high school diploma or GED. Half of our participants enter the program needing to complete high school and the rest have graduated but are not connected to employment or post-secondary education.
