YouthBuild USA
Within the opportunity youth population — young adults between the ages of
16 and 24 who are neither in school nor employed — the YouthBuild movement
primarily serves young people who lack a high school diploma and financial
resources. These young people are in greatest need of our support, and they are
our greatest source of untapped potential. Across hundreds of YouthBuild programs
in the United States and around the globe, these young people work together to
reclaim their education, gain job skills, and become leaders in their communities.
YouthBuild USA – the support center for the YouthBuild movement – strengthens
YouthBuild programs through technical assistance, leadership development,
innovative program enhancements, and advocacy. YouthBuild programs located
outside of the United States are supported by YouthBuild USA’s international division,
YouthBuild International.
