YouthBuild CORE-2 week 2 recap

Participants took important next steps in their journey. They signed their YouthBuild paperwork, were introduced to instructors and classes, and continued getting set up for the educational path that best fits their goals. Some participants began programs like WorkKeys, adult high school courses, and GED classes, while others are still completing the enrollment process.

The week also included the start of OSHA 10 training, an important certification that helps prepare youth for future job opportunities and workplace readiness. We’re excited to see this group building momentum and moving forward with confidence, one step at a time.

We are recruiting for the fall cohort! More info here. Contact: Connect@hoodhuggersfoundation.org
