Recruitment and Development VISTA- YB Rochester

YouthBuild Rochester serves disadvantaged high school dropouts ages 18 to 24. The goals of the program are for participants to obtain a high school equivalency diploma and/or industry recognized certificate; increase literacy and numeracy; and employment or enrollment in post-secondary education.

Our mission is to improve the image of the construction industry as a career choice and to facilitate ways to bring interested individuals together with educational and employment training opportunities. Participants receive stipends while they attend TASC classes and complete a 144 hour Pre-Apprenticeship Construction Training (PACT) course at Monroe Community College, and gain hands-on experience building homes with Habitat for Humanity. Participants are also able to take part in the YouthBuild Green Initiative which provides students with training around environmental awareness and the concepts and techniques of green construction.
