I don't believe there is another organization or model in this country that confronts, as powerfully as YouthBuild does, the challenges associated with youth disengagement and homelessness. This model brings together alternative education, community service, workforce and affordable housing development in a unique and inspiring way. The 11 programs in Massachusetts are tremendous and should be invested in by the construction sector, local government and philanthropists.

Terrible organization. I entered this place months ago with a full plan to make a major donation. I just came in to see how it really was and it was pretty bad. None of the staff was there to answer the door. The kids were swearing. They had no home training. I could not see how they were "transforming lives" then I spoke to one of the students as he was leaving and he told me that the program was bad and that he just came for the stipend. Never donate here. these people do not have it together.
