YouthBuild San Antonio offers community-based pre-apprenticeship and registered apprenticeship programs that provide job training and educational opportunities for at-risk youth ages 16-24 who have previously dropped out of high school or are adults 18 and over in need of job training. Participants learn vocational skills in construction, as well as in other in-demand industries, including healthcare and Information Technology. Participants also provide community service through the required construction or rehabilitation of affordable housing for low-income or homeless families in their own neighborhoods. Participants split their time between the vocational training work site and the classroom, where they earn their high school diploma, learn to be community leaders, and prepare for postsecondary training opportunities, including college, apprenticeships, and employment. YouthBuild San Antonio includes significant support systems, such as mentoring, follow-up education, employment, and personal counseling services; additionally, participants participate in community service and civic engagement projects.
