About us
The mission of YouthBuild Boston (YBB) is to empower and assist underserved young people from the Boston area with the essential social, vocational, academic, and life skills necessary to navigate a positive pathway to self-sufficiency and neighborhood responsibility. Our theory of change: “Young people, when empowered with the skills and education necessary to improve their quality of life, will realize that they can play a leadership role in strengthening their communities.” YBB works with young adults in the Boston area to develop personal and career skills using innovative programs in the building trades, from design and construction to the green industry. YBB enhances the lives and skills of their students, encouraging them to work with integrity, confidence, discipline and aspiration. More than 1,000 graduates have been equipped with the professional skills and tools necessary to lead successful lives and further their education. While YBB promotes the core values of youth development and community service, it stands out as an innovative non-profit offering a hands-on approach to building trades training. Students are put on a career path through highly successful programs, from construction training to sustainable landscape design. Not only do these programs provide opportunities in vocational education, but also academic instruction, counseling and other life skills that readily strengthen and prepare students for the workforce upon graduation.

Learn about our programs! ⭐️ This summer, our architecture internship program introduced an incredible new experience for our students. After six weeks of intensive training, ten aspiring designers had the opportunity to collaborate on a week-long project with EMBARC . They tackled an affordable housing initiative in Roxbury, combining their newfound skills with a commitment to community impact. 🏠✨ This hands-on project is just one of the amazing opportunities our Designery students get to experience. A huge shoutout to everyone involved for making this possible. Let’s keep building brighter futures together! 💪🏽🌱 #YouthBuildBoston #TheDesignery #ProgramHighlight #AffordableHousing #CommunityImpact #BuildingFutures #embarcstudio #bostonarchitecture

Recently at The Designery – 1️⃣ First day magic! Our participants gathered around and got to know each other by interviewing new friends and sharing what they learned. 🤝 2️⃣ On the second day, we dived into a hands-on exercise with the kit of parts from the Designery. Participants explored how to model a cube and imagined the possibilities of what that space could become. 🛠️✨ 3️⃣ Our students had the privilege of listening to London Parker-McWhorter, co-caretaker of the United Neighbors of Lower Roxbury (UNLR) Community Gardens. He shared the inspiring history of the garden and the advocates behind it. 🌿👂 4️⃣ First day at the Designery! Colin Willett, our Lead Designer, helped a student with their drawing activity, sparking creativity and skill-building. 🎨✏️
