YouthBuild Global is a global movement and network of programs serving opportunity youth - young adults aged 16-24 who are out of school and out of work. Its programs combine education, hands-on job training, leadership development and community service, enabling participants to reclaim their education, earn construction credentials in high-demand industries and build affordable housing for their communities.
The network comprises more than 340 programs across seven countries, spanning education and workforce development, construction and affordable housing, and youth services and community development.
The organisation's approach rests on a stated culture of love and respect as the basis for working with young people. It treats participants as leaders with untapped potential rather than problems to be solved, and values youth voice and agency. The stated aim of the programmes is personal transformation that extends beyond completion, encompassing lifelong learning, economic mobility, purpose and belonging.
