Compton YouthBuild
Through loving accountability, high expectations and comprehensive support, young people work to shift the trajectory of their lives.
Young people, 16-29 years old, in and around Compton are often characterized by their struggles with unemployment, poverty, and crime, rather than by their potential. We work to break the cycles of inequity and empower the marginalized voices of the communities we serve.
Compton YouthBuild embraces a holistic approach that includes classroom education, career development, community advocacy, counseling, and construction / vocational pathways. Leadership Competencies will be implemented across all 5 core components.
