YouthBuild Philly Charter School

YouthBuild Philly Charter School was founded in 1992 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. Our one-of-a-kind program combines an accelerated academic program with vocational training and service learning. 

We are the largest YouthBuild program in the U.S. and one of Pennsylvania’s first charter schools. Students graduate YouthBuild Philly in one year and successfully transition to college and career as critically conscious leaders, committed to positive change for themselves and their communities.
