YDI’s YouthBuild program just received its 2nd YouthBuild grant from the US Department of Labor to continue education and employment services for out-of-school young people ages 16-24 in the construction industry.
YDI YouthBuild will serve 55 young people over the next 2 years. YDI YouthBuild is now recruiting for young people who want to receive their High School Equivalency Diploma (formerly GED) and become trained and employed in the construction field.
The YDI YouthBuild program provides a comprehensive, full-time, year round program with an emphasis on education, job training, counseling, mentoring, leadership development, and service to the community. YouthBuild participants learn important on-site construction skills while working toward their High School Equivalency Diploma.
