Youth Build Program honors graduates

The Youth Build grad took place this past Wednesday. Sixteen youth graduated from the program this year.  Matthew Baker,  the Executive Director  at the Boys and Girls Club of Thompson,  says it was a great turn out. 

 

"It went off really well.  It was our first year that we hosted it at the Boys and Girls Club.  We had about 80 people show up.  Families, friends, funders, people and organizations who've been involved with the program over the year.  And we just so so happy to have everyone out and super proud of every Youth Build student who graduated."

 

 

The Youth Build Program is entering it's 11th year here in our city.  The program focuses on providing different opportunities to young,  under- employed or unemployed adults.

 

The participants go out in the community for 6 weeks prior to grad, applying the skills they learned with city-based organizations and companies. A big thanks goes to those companies involved in Youth Build this year.
