Description
The FY2027 Massachusetts YouthBuild Coalition Program supports members of the Massachusetts YouthBuild Coalition, Inc., in delivering education and workforce training to youth aged 16–24. The program blends classroom-based academic instruction—helping participants earn a high school equivalency or diploma—with hands-on workforce development, specifically through building or renovating affordable housing in local communities. This initiative aims to empower young people to transform their lives by integrating practical job experience with educational achievement, as outlined in the FY2027 state budget.
