Build works with young adults between the ages of 16-24 who are
currently out of school and residing in King County. In the course
of a year students have the opportunity to complete their high school
education, build work experience, and transition into job or post-secondary
education.
Education
and job training are integrated into all aspects of the Youth Build
experience revolving between two weeks of work and two weeks of school.
Participants are paid to work while they complete their education.

During the year Youth Builders construct a house for a family in-need,
thus contributing to their community while learning about civic involvement
and gaining work experience.
