The goal of our YouthBuild program is to foster the empowerment and growth of low-income youth and communities that is based on respect, love, responsibility, and service to others. YouthBuild creates opportunities for low-income youth to rebuild their communities and their lives by providing the education, job training, and skills that the youth need to fulfill this mission. With the power and dedication of young people, YouthBuild develops marginalized communities through public service and by building a skilled youth workforce.
The Big Picture
MAAC’s YouthBuild Program for the 2009-2011 cycles is located in Logan Heights at the intersection of Commercial and 22nd Street. The MAAC Project is a partner developer in a project called COMM 22, which seeks to develop the community through providing multi-generational housing units, retail and commercial space, and significant upgrades to the area’s infrastructure. MAAC’s YouthBuild trainees will become an important asset to this project as they are being trained in construction competencies, job readiness skills, and community development
Funding
MAAC Project YouthBuild is funded by the U.S. Department of Labor with a two year, $1.1 Million grant (July 2009-July 2011).
