YouthBuild includes education, occupational skills training in the construction and manufacturing industries, leadership development, and post-program placement opportunities for at-risk youth. Participants have the opportunity earn GED and Pre-Apprenticeship Certificate Training (PACT) certifications.

The combination of project-based academic learning and occupational skills training prepare at-risk youth for career placement and advancement. The academic component assists youth who are often significantly behind in basic skill development in obtaining a high school diploma or state high school equivalency credential. The occupational skills training component prepares at-risk youth for apprenticeship and other career pathways and/or further education or training.

The Goodwill® YouthBuild program is made possible with a $843,719 young adult reentry partnership grant award from the DOL’s Employment and Training Administration, covering 75 percent of operating costs. Our Goodwill is contributing leveraged funding valued at $210,930 to cover the remaining 25 percent of operational costs.
