Purpose

  Youth Build

                                       The Prosperity Christian Resource and Community Housing Development Center Inc.'s Youth Build Program is a comprehensive youth and community development program that addresses several core issues facing low-income communities, such as education, housing, employment and leadership development. Unemployed young men and women who have dropped out of school and have not identified a path to a productive future have an opportunity to enter the Youth Build vocational educational program.

                                       Youth Build provides high school dropouts an opportunity to earn their GED. The curriculum also provides construction skills training, character and leadership skill development, course work to pass construction industry apprenticeship exams all leading to job placement, internships, military career opportunities, or to continue on towards a higher education. Youth Build trainees work on residential rehabilitation projects.  They also provide various needed construction services throughout communities.

Target Population:

The Youth Build program enrolls youth and young adults aged 16-24 who have dropped out of school, are unemployed and have limited job skills.

Purpose:

The purpose of the Youth Build program is to empower struggling teens and young adults. Youth Build focuses on academic goals while also helping youth to develop job skills by building homes for low-income families.

Services:

Youth Build is a year long, highly demanding program that prepares youth and young adults for the challenges they will face in today's world. The program offers young people a once in a lifetime opportunity to build their futures and their communities through education, leadership development, job training, and the rehabilitation and production of affordable housing.

Delivery Method:

The Youth Build program is administered by local communities. There is not one single model that can be applied to every Youth Build program. Although each Youth Build program is unique in its approach to addressing the needs of the community, all embrace the same basic principles: Youth benefit from the opportunity to join and function in a community; education comes not only from the classroom, but from life skills learned from having to function as a team, maintain a job, manage money and speak effectively with one another; adults in the program mentor students as they mature; and each sites' unique approach addresses the complexities for their given communities.
