YouthBuild is open to Bridgeport residents and is provided at no cost. The program is designed to help local youth learn job skills and serve the community by building affordable housing. This graduation ceremony is an opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments from participants. This cohort has completed together hundreds of community service hours, many have made outstanding academic gains, and all have all helped build homes in Bridgeport Connecticut.
