Burlington has officially launched their fourth annual in-store customer fundraising campaign featuring YouthBuild! From April 6th through May 11th, donations supporting YouthBuild can be made at checkout at any Burlington store nationwide. All donations will go to YouthBuild Global—the headquarters for the YouthBuild movement—and a significant portion of what’s raised in Burlington’s local stores will benefit local YouthBuild programs across the county, including ours.

In March, we cut the ribbon to our new STEM Lab at YouthBuild Inland Empire, marking the soft launch of our Advanced Manufacturing CTE pathway. Thanks to everyone who came out to the event. Read more about it here!
