This is a federal grant through the Department of Labor and works with youth ages 18-24 earning their GED. The program is 27 weeks and covers four academic subjects: Language arts, science, math and social studies.
This program helps invigorate youth in academics and helps develop skills youth will need to be successful in real life. For example, YouthBuild works with students' skills job-readiness, financial literacy and to help students be prepared for future careers through job shadowing or internships.
