Earn While You Learn At Youth Build-Lakeland
YouthBuild-Lakeland was founded in 2007 in an effort to help young adults, 16 to 24 years of age, who have dropped out of high school, but since that time, have made a decision to work towards improving their lives.
Shown on the front row: Kemarion Stacy, Jaylon Glover, and Imaculat Williams. Shown on the mid- dle row: Jaden McCullough, Jase Thomas, Jordan Gant, Omarion Lopez, Cormani McClain, Kareem Wimes, Jocelyn Broderick, Anjuan Mitchell, and Dion Villers.

The six-month pro- gram offers classroom in- struction in preparation for the GED exam. In ad- dition, participants get hands-on experience in construction by working on a Habitat for Humanity worksite building afford- able housing for low-in- come families. There is also strong emphasis placed on career develop- ment, personal develop- ment, and leadership development. Partici- pants receive a bi-weekly stipend while earning their GED and learning a skill. They can also re- ceive certifications in First Aid/CPR, forklift and OSHA.
And.....there are schol- arships that can be earned, by participants, to assist with post-secondary education. YouthBuild- Lakeland will host its next Open House on Tuesday, December 20, 2016 from 2:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m.
