The Fort Wayne Housing Authority YouthBuild is a program that provides leadership, education, and occupational skill development for local youth ages 16 -24 who are out of school and/or have not obtained a high school diploma. The program lasts six months with one year of follow-up and case management.
Supported by the Department of Labor, YouthBuild members can earn money while getting valuable training and have the opportunity to obtain their high school diploma and certification in construction and healthcare to prepare them for postsecondary opportunities.
Our YouthBuild program members will engage in classroom learning that will prepare them for work-based learning opportunities, building and rehabilitating affordable housing for low-income or homeless families in their communities.
