“My favorite part of the program? Building! On Tuesdays, we work with Worx Project in Fairview, and we are learning how to build, work with tools, and sometimes we tear old structures down. It’s so much fun!

Math is my biggest challenge. I’ve never been good at math, but my tutor Bill from Literacy Together is helping me a lot. The YouthBuild CORE-2 team has been very helpful. Everyone tries to understand you, and they are patient, and it’s good.”

Through YouthBuild CORE-2, participants are building skills, confidence, and a stronger path forward, with hands-on training, academic support, and a team that believes in them.

Thanks to our partners at Land of Sky Regional Council (grantee) WORX Project, Literacy Together, Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College, A-B Tech, and everyone helping make this program possible. 💪🏽✨
