You can see the fruits of their labor already in refurbished houses, community gardens, and hiking trails. For the young adults in YouthBuild Louisville, it's about helping out, learning job skills, and building their own futures.

YouthBuild Louisville is one of over 200 YouthBuild programs nationally. Lower-income young adults between 16 and 24 work full-time for six to 24 months toward a GED® or high school diploma while gaining job skills working on community service projects.

More than 350 young people have graduated from the YouthBuild Louisville program in the past 12 years. In the past three years, 45 of its students have attended college. Each student completes 675 hours of service during his or her program year. YouthBuild works with local businesses to place students in jobs after their graduation.

Funded by the Department of Labor and locally by the Louisville Metro Office of Youth Development, the campus is located in the Smoketown neighborhood.
