Youth Build is a comprehensive youth development program for 16-24 year old out of school and out of work. Young people spend half their time learning construction skills by repairing and constructing new housing for low-income and homeless families. The other half of their time, students focus on GED preparation, academic subjects, life skills training, community service and preparing for "life after YouthBuild." The entire program is 10 months.
