YouthBuild for the Future Act

The YouthBuild for the Future Act aims to strengthen and expand the existing YouthBuild program, which provides education and job training to young people. The bill increases authorized funding for the program and creates a new grant program to foster partnerships between YouthBuild programs and employers, aiming to develop more employment opportunities for participants. It reserves a portion of increased funds for rural areas and programs serving Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities. Furthermore, the bill expands the types of supportive services YouthBuild programs can offer, including meals and assistance with applying for federal and state benefit programs.
