Profile Information

How did you celebrate Global Youth Service Day?
We are planning a health and safety based celebration for April 23rd, in conjunction with a local community college. We will be hosting a blood drive and distributing Child ID kits. Also, all of our AmeriCorps VISTAs will be receiving First Aid and CPR training.
If you were the mayor, what changes would you make in your community?
Our city is in desperate need of a major upgrade to our public transportation system. We have students who are determined to participate in our programs - so much so that they wake up at 6am in the morning just to spend 2 or more ours on the bus to make it to class, the ride the bus 2 or more hours to make it back home after class. This is NOT acceptable.
What are the 7 Things or problems in the world you want to help solve?
Poverty, Educational Deficiencies, Gang Violence, Drug Violence and Use, Racism and Hate, Description of Youth, and Youth Empowerment.
Short "About Me" section
YouthBuild is a youth and community development program that simultaneously addresses core issues facing low-income communities: housing, education, employment, crime prevention, and leadership development. In our program, low-income young people ages 16-24 work toward their GED or high school diploma, learn job skills and serve their communities by building affordable housing, and transform their own lives and roles in society.

Our Mission: To build understanding, integrity, and confidence in youth and young adults through education and community involvement.

Our Vision: To create a culture of environmentally conscience, self-sustainable youth and young adults with higher education opportunities for a harmonious future.
