If you haven't RSVP'd yet, you can do so here: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/zmg9q56

We can't wait to see you there!

At YouthBuild Boston, teaching doesn't only happen in the classroom. It happens in the workshop too, and anywhere a young person needs encouragement to keep going. World Teachers' Day is October 5, and we'd like to recognize both halves of our teaching team.

Our vocational instructors cover carpentry, tool safety, measuring, and blueprint reading, while our traditional teachers guide the coursework students need to earn a high school diploma. The two reinforce each other more than most people expect, since a student might spend part of the day learning to read a set of plans and another part building the math skills those drawings depend on.

Want to meet the people who do this work? You'll find them at youthbuildboston.org/staff-board.

It's Spotlight Saturday! Today we're highlighting Nahjee.

Nahjee entered YBB after seeing the success his friend found success there. "I saw what it did and how it changed his life at a fast rate," Nahjee said.

During the program, Nahjee enjoyed exploring the different opportunities he could have in the building trade industry, but he found it challenging to choose a field to pursue. "I think the best part about YBB is that it really did open up my brain to the construction industry. I think that's the best part," Nahjee said. "I think the hardest part was choosing what I wanted to do."

After earning his Pre-Apprentice certificate, Nahjee was accepted into IBEW Local 103. He is currently in his first year of a five-year apprenticeship program with McDonald Electrical Corporation.

It's Spotlight Saturday! Yvenson graduated from YouthBuild Boston's Pre-Apprentice program in 2023. Since then, he's been working as a Project Engineer Apprentice at Dimeo Construction Company for three years. He will complete his apprenticeship next month and plans to continue working at Dimeo as a superintendent after earning his Construction Supervisor License. He has found a community at Dimeo.

As a pre-apprentice, Yvenson was passionate about serving the community, and that has continued that passion during his time at Dimeo. "That's the reason why I got into this—to help other people," Yvenson said. "I'm not putting up these buildings for no reason. People are going to live in them. Almost all the buildings we do are low-income housing so it's helping a lot of people."

Yvenson is always eager to give back to the YouthBuild Boston community by welcoming new cohorts, attending community events, and leading site visits." YBB understands what it's like growing up in Boston, not having an opportunity like other people," he said. "And they work with you. They make you feel heard."

This Labor Day, we're celebrating the people who build, repair, design, and strengthen our communities, along with the students stepping into that work next. YouthBuild Boston is proud to help young people explore pathways into the trades and prepare for careers in construction and related fields.

For a student learning carpentry, that route usually isn't one leap. It often starts with practice in our workshop and continues through industry certifications, visits to training centers and live job sites, and then an apprenticeship or a first job.

Our vocational instructors guide the hands-on side while our traditional teachers cover the classroom work, and our Stage 2 pre-apprenticeship adds job search preparation and union placement assistance.

Curious how that pathway works? Read more about Stage 2 at youthbuildboston.org/ybb-stage-2.

What happens when a community comes together for Boston's young people? Our Fourth Annual Golf Tournament on August 31 at Wollaston Golf Club is a perfect example!

Golfers, sponsors, board members, auction bidders, and staff all turned out, and together you helped YouthBuild Boston raise over $125,000.

Those funds go toward hands-on carpentry training, academic instruction, industry certifications, and the mentorship our students rely on as they move from learning to doing.

The community pulled together to support us, and we're thankful for every one of you! Learn more about our programs and help keep the momentum going at youthbuildboston.org/programoverview.
