Testimonials From Our Crew
Do you wonder why we are so passionate about our YouthBuild Program? Hear from our crew the "WHY"
YouthBuild
Fall Graduation
Distance
Graduation looked a lot different this year. Unfortunately our graduating class did not get to have a big celebration this year with all their family and friends, but we did get to have a small gathering and celebrate their achievements.
These young adults have worked hard through the pandemic and had to learn a new “normal” and we are very proud of them. Several of our students even earned their TASC during the shutdown and that is not an easy task to accomplish.
  • 6 crew members were employed at time of graduation
  • 4 crew members enrolled in a higher education or trade school
  • 1 crew member serving as a VISTA locally
