The YouthBuild Model
YouthBuild provides a pathway to education through General Education Development (GED) and High School Diploma classes, as well as on-site construction work experience or exposure to the health care field through a pre-Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) track.
To enhance this experience, the program also provides job skills training, leadership development, exposure to community service (via AmeriCorps), and access to supportive services during and after graduating from the program.
