Mile High Youth Corps

What does a day in the life of a YouthBuild Construction Corpsmember look like? From engaging in intensive training on construction service sites, to being in the classroom to earn a GED or High School Equivalency diploma, Youthbuild Construction Corpsmembers prepare for a brighter future while serving their communities. A typical day can include: ?? Serving on affordable housing projects ?? Setting and achieving further educational goals ?? Engaging in leadership development ?? Civic engagement ?? College and career readiness activities.

As a Mile High Youth Corps donor, board member, and proud former corpsmember, I am committed to powering the healthcare, construction and conservation leaders of the future. MHYC connects young people across Colorado to opportunities to earn while they learn and develop skills to build a purpose-driven career. From now until Colorado Gives Day on Dec. 10, I am matching $500 in donations to MHYC at the link below. I hope you'll join me in supporting our communities, environment, and next generation of leaders! https://lnkd.in/gGyBU4vT #MHYCPoweredbyPurpose

Through hands-on career training and education development, we help them unlock their potential and build a path toward success that's #PoweredbyPurpose. Whether it's gaining valuable work experience or earning certifications, we're here to build the next generation of purpose-driven leaders. Let's build a brighter future, together!
