Description:

In 2009 IWI launched Alachua YouthBuild in Gainesville, Florida, through a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor. Now operating as Project YouthBuild, our goal is to improve the lives of young people. This transformation is accomplished through an intensive 7-month program where students study for their high school diploma, build and rehabilitate low income housing, earn nationally recognized construction certifications, and develop leadership, life, and employability skills.
