What is YouthBuild USA?



There are many organizations like Youth Bureaus that strive to help young adults in need.  One such organization is YouthBuild USA.  This program has been up and running since 1990 and it's goal is to provide the necessary skills a struggling teen would need to go on and succeed in life. 
YouthBuild USA helps individuals between the ages of 16 and 24 who have dropped out of high school and are involved in negative activities.  The program helps these individuals earn their GEDs, and provides them with the knowledge of necessary job skills.  The participants also build low income housing for members of their community.  

Therefore, it is easy to see that this program not only helps develop the youth but also the communities that they live in.
