YouthBuild Philadelphia Charter School is an alternative education program offering a second chance for former high school dropouts, ages 18-21, to earn their high school diploma and learn vital job skills.
The comprehensive curriculum at YouthBuild includes rigorous academics, vocational training, community service, and counseling to help students establish and achieve post-secondary education and career goals.
We have three core values: Excellence, Respect, and Perseverance. We believe that every student, regardless of his or her past, can embrace these values and achieve anything.
The mission of YouthBuild Philadelphia Charter School is to provide out-of-school youth in Philadelphia with the broadest range of tools, supports and opportunities available to become self-sufficient, responsible and productive citizens in their community.
"At YouthBuild Philadelphia Charter School students can reengage in school, earn their diploma and a trade in just one year. Our mission is to empower young adults 17-20 year-olds to develop skills and connect to opportunities by fostering an environment of love, support, and respect for their whole person. Graduates successfully transition to college and career as critically conscious leaders, committed to positive change for themselves and their communities."
