Our YouthBuild Story:
25 Years of Success!Since 1995, YouthBuild North Central WV has worked to help young adults from West Virginia become self-sufficient, responsible members of their communities. We give young adults the tools they need to get a good job and keep it.
YouthBuild North Central is dedicated to providing an atmosphere that fosters growth, respect and dignity to all we serve with love and appreciation.A key aspect of YouthBuild involves preparing participants for the TASC—Test Assessing Secondary Completion (the new national high school equivalency exam). Another part of the program involves training in the construction of affordable housing for low-income residents in our local community. This work is reinforced with classroom instruction, job shadowing, and personal guidance. Other types of vocational, educational, and leadership training are also provided.
YouthBuild also helps participants plan for their future, which may involve career counseling, advice on applying to colleges, finding advanced vocational training, or other support. An active alumni program is also available to help former YouthBuild participants continue their progress.
