In addition to construction, YouthBuild Poughkeepsie focuses on education, guiding participants toward earning their high school equivalency and gaining the credentials needed to pursue postsecondary education or employment. Youth also receive leadership development, financial literacy training, and social-emotional learning to ensure they are prepared to thrive in all aspects of life.
