MCC YouthBuild Empowering young adults to overcome challenges by offering education & hands on construction training

Youthbuild engages low-income, unemployed, out-of-school youth (ages 18 to 24) in a training program where they gain construction, job, and other skill development services. Members are expected to earn a GED/diploma, secure employment, and/or enroll in college. Members spend the majority of their time constructing homes that are made available to low-income families. The remainder of their time is spent in the classroom or participating in community improvement projects.

A big congratulations is in order for YouthBuild Alumni Cintia Soria on starting her dream career! 🎉✨

Cintia recently started her apprenticeship with the Operators Union and has been loving her journey so far! Thank you Michels Corporation and IUOE Local 139 for welcoming Cintia with open arms. She has spoken so highly of her recent experiences.

Cintia has shared that as a first generation high school graduate and proud daughter of immigrants, that she feels proud, with a large sense of accomplishment to represent her community and family’s journey in the attainment of her goals!

Cintia’s advice to others is to “take risk, and to do it even if you are scared. There’s no reward without risk”.

We are incredibly proud of you Cintia!

Because hard work and dedication pays off!

Congrats to YouthBuild member TyDre Johnson on starting his new job this week as a Carpenter Apprentice with Stevens Construction Corp. TyDre not only showed up everyday while in YB, but was a quick learner and reliable help on the worksite. He is someone who takes initiative and has a passion for the craft. He not only grew in skills and knowledge, but as a person while in programming. MCC YouthBuild believes in creating a training space for life skills in the field, while also maintaining accountability and guiding members in areas they can grow. TyDre embodies preparation met opportunity, and today is evidence of that. Continue to be great TyDre. Your career awaits you 🎉.
