Dear Neighbor,

YouthBuild is a nationally and internationally recognized program that builds a pathway of success for young people. The model provides out of school young people between the ages of 16 and 24, with academic support and employment training services. In New York State, 137,000 youth (16-24 years old) are not in school or working because of a disconnection from school and employment opportunities. The national average of disconnected youth is 7.7%; New York State is much higher at 11%.

YouthBuild programs provide: • High School Equivalency Educational Services • Stipends • Skills Training (Construction, IT, Nursing, Customer Service, Medical Billing, etc.) • Professional Certifications (Construction Certification, OSHA Certification) • Career Services and Job Placement Assistance • Long-Term Follow up Services • Permanent Economic Self Sufficiency

Furthermore, YouthBuild participants address urgent community needs including the demand for affordable housing by renovating and building housing for homeless and other low- income individuals. The programs provide pathways of opportunities to transform their lives and to become leaders in their communities.

For your convenience, I have assembled a list of YouthBuild programs in our State. Please contact the YouthBuild in your community to learn more about their programs or to enroll.

Sincerely,

BUILDING DREAMS IN BROOKLYN “I started the program in 2012 and finished a year later. Senator Velmanette Montgomery Now I am working in my career of choice as an electrician th and I hope to start my own company in the near future. 25 Senate District DREAMS YouthBuild is also a great program for young adults returning home from prison as well as youth in the juvenile justice system. It is a program where everyone can feel at home, free of judgment based on the color of your skin or the you speak. DREAMS YouthBuild taught me to follow my own dreams but also taught me discipline, accountability, responsibility and respect.”
