Our Relationship With YouthBuild Global
About YouthBuild:
YouthBuild Global is the nonprofit support center for YouthBuild programs across the USA and internationally. Over the course of nearly fifty years, YouthBuild has grown into a robust network of hundreds of programs around the world. While YouthBuild programs vary according to local community needs, funding, and partnerships, every YouthBuild program operates at the nexus of three spheres: positive youth development, education, and workforce readiness and career training. All programs are built on a foundation of love and the five core elements of our model—Education, Career Pathways, Support Services, Leadership Development, and Alumni Success. There are currently over 250 YouthBuild programs in the United States and around the world. YouthBuild champions opportunity youth as they achieve their ambitions and reach their full potential. In YouthBuild programs around the world, young people who are out of school and out of work reclaim their education, gain job skills and credentials, and become leaders in their communities. YouthBuild believes that these young people are in greatest need of access to the tools to succeed, and they are our greatest source of untapped potential to bolster economic mobility and transform the world. In YouthBuild's environment of love, respect, high expectations, community, and agency, young people overcome barriers and build long-term professional and personal success.

How we work with local YouthBuild programs:
YouthBuild Charter School of California (YCSC) was launched and continues to be supported by YouthBuild Global in response to California YouthBuild programs’ need for a robust high school diploma-based education option for their students. YCSC exists not as a stand-alone school, but rather as a school within a local YouthBuild program. As such, the only way to become a student at YCSC is to first become a member/participant at one of our YouthBuild program partners (listed below). Because of the school’s partnership with local YouthBuild programs, YCSC students receive not only a great education and the opportunity to earn their high school diploma, but also counseling and social wrap-around services, job training, college and career readiness, community service opportunities, and leadership development.
YCSC’s students are primarily between 16-24 years old, yet they are allowed to re-enroll in the K-12 school because they are a part of a YouthBuild program. The California Department of Education allows for this through an exemption that is written into Education Code.
