The Illinois YouthBuild Coalition (IYC) is dedicated to expanding employment and career opportunities for socially and economically disadvantaged young adults by advocating for an increase of quality resources and community involvement. We partner with opportunity youth to build a safe, secure, and supportive force for change in the larger community.
We have numbers that push us to give in our best and make sure that we break our own records. We are happy to be growing and helping more day by day.
YouthBuild believes that the goals, dreams, and aspirations of every young person are real. These young people should be seen for who they really are, and they should receive our support. Every young person deserves the opportunity to develop their untapped potential.

Illinois YouthBuild Coalition strives to make YouthBuild the program of choice to educate, train, and build opportunity youth in Illinois.
YouthBuild programs serve low-income young people ages 16 to 24 that had experience with foster care, welfare, homelessness, and juvenile justice. These young people are traditionally known as “disenfranchised,” “marginalized,” “at risk,” and “disconnected”.
The Illinois YouthBuild Coalition relies on donations to carry out our mission to expand employment and career opportunities for opportunity youth. Your gift enables IYC to support a YouthBuild Program near you. Because of you, more low-income, minority youth can receive the education, training, and resources they need.
