YouthBuild programs provide programming that includes integrated education and job skills, training, counseling, leadership development, needs-based stipends, a variety of wrap-around and supportive services and placement in apprenticeships, post-program education or employment, and follow-up services.
During this full-time program, participants are receiving hands-on training at a construction site and attending YouthBuild’s alternative school.
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.
