History
St. Louis YouthBuild was sponsored by the Housing Authority until the YouthBuild program moved from HUD to a DOL program four years ago. After being sponsored on the last grant by the Carpenters' District Council of Greater St. Louis & Vicinity, we are now sponsored by the Parent Child Center until at least 2016. We remain partnered with the Carpenters.
Specialties

We are partnered with Americorps and require all of our enrolled students to participate in community service projects multiple times per year.
