YBB success!
"One of the great things about having construction skills is that you can make yourself successful, but also make a noticeable impact in your community, and help out someone else."
Students
Young people choose to enroll in YouthBuild Boston for a multitude of reasons. Some want to earn their GED. Others are more focused on building technical skills. But all are seeking one common goal: something better. YBB students are young people who realize that life has many challenges, and it's best to take on the world armed with knowledge and skill.
Student + Alumni Profiles
"Before I came to YBB I was going through a lot of stuff. From dead end jobs, I just wanted to chill with friends and be on the block doing my thing. Then I started realizing that not caring about anything is not a way to live."
“I definitely achieved my goal of finding employment... But I also gained confidence – confidence in my abilities, and confidence about where my life is heading."
