YouthBuild CORE-2 week 1!: Mental Toughness

Mental Toughness is the first step in the YouthBuild journey, a hands-on introduction that helps both participants and the program decide if it’s the right fit. 

Taking place this week, this experience gave young people the chance to build confidence, make connections, and show their readiness for enrollment. Participants took part in icebreakers and met staff from the program's partner agencies: Land of Sky Regional Council (grantee), ABTech, WORX Project, and Literacy Together. 

They then toured A-B Tech, visited the WORX Project jobsite, and shared pizza for lunch. It was a strong and supportive beginning that helped participants step into new opportunities with clarity, connection, and purpose.

We are recruiting for the fall cohort! You can find more info here, or contact Amanda at Amanda@hoodhuggersfoundation.org. Please help us spread the word!
