Summary of YouthBuild USA YouthBuild USA is a dynamic, expanding, highly regarded, non-profit organization with operations throughout the USA and in 15 other countries. It manages advocacy, training, technical assistance, research, data management, communications, grants, and loans for a network of innovative and highly effective YouthBuild programs designed for disadvantaged youth and young adults to complete their secondary education while serving their communities by building affordable housing for homeless and low income people. Students learn leadership skills and internalize the ethic of service, toward becoming leaders in their communities. YouthBuild USA has built a strong public/private partnership with the United States government, an agency of which administers the federal YouthBuild program directly through competitive grants to local non-profit and public agencies, and then contracts with YouthBuild USA to provide quality assurance systems for these grantees. The headquarters for both national and international work is located in Somerville, Massachusetts. Our national programs and services are focused on a growing network of over 200 YouthBuild operating programs in 43 states and relate to a diverse group of public and private funders and policy stakeholder groups. International work related to program replication is currently concentrated in South Africa, Mexico, Central America, Canada, and Israel; the other international focus is on broad national policy and program development for unemployed youth. Organizational Mission To unleash the intelligence and positive energy of low-income youth to rebuild their communities and their lives. To help build a movement toward a more just society both nationally and internationally in which respect, love, responsibility, and cooperation are the dominant unifying values, and sufficient opportunities are available for all people in all communities to fulfill their own potential and contribute to the well-being of others. Basic Statement of Philosophy The intelligence and positive energy of young people need to be liberated and enlisted in solving the problems facing our society. Young people in low-income communities and developing nations want to rebuild their neighborhoods and lives, and will do so if given the opportunity. The desire to serve, to do meaningful work that is of value to other people, is universal. Community-based organizations and developing countries need the resources to solve local problems and to mobilize local people, including neighborhood youth. Leadership development is a central element of effective community development and youth service. Introduction to Program In YouthBuild programs, young people with criminal records can chart a path to a productive future. YouthBuild programs have always welcomed young adults who have been convicted of crimes, as long as they show a sincere desire to work hard to achieve a positive lifestyle. Because of YouthBuild’s proven effectiveness in working with low-income court-involved young adults, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has selected YouthBuild USA through a competitive process to create a major national demonstration. DOL has granted $10M for 2.5 years for eight flagship programs to demonstrate a modified YouthBuild program called the YouthBuild SMART (“Start Making a Real Transformation”) program. Eight local programs selected through a competition will operate for two years, engage 640 young people, at least 60% of whom have been incarcerated. The program will be comprehensive, based on the classic YouthBuild combination of education, job training, community service, personal counseling, and leadership development components, but it will add several elements and include several career paths in addition to construction. YouthBuild USA is providing training, technical assistance, and data management for all participating programs as well as managing the over-all grant program and advocacy related to it. Part of this project is for YouthBuild USA to access state-level criminal justice funds for YouthBuild and other comparable programs that can serve as diversion alternatives or re-entry programs for youth offenders. By re-directing state revenue from the prison system to YouthBuild and other similar programs, YouthBuild USA aims to enable more ex-offenders to reclaim a productive and contributing role in society, while we demonstrate a pathway for state governments to save money .
