YouthBuild Fall River

Old Colony YMCA YouthBuild Fall River is a comprehensive youth development program that allows young people between the ages of 16 and 24 who have not been successful in school or the workplace an opportunity to plot a new course for their lives. Students alternate weeks between an academic setting and a vocational one. They are working toward the attainment of their GED while learning vocational skills that will prepare them for future employment. The students will complete the construction of new single family “green-built” home that will be sold to a low income, first-time homeowner.
