About Us

YouthBuild Lake County (YBLC) is dedicated to empowering underserved young adults by equipping them with the education, training, and life skills necessary to secure gainful employment and forge a path towards a brighter future.

Since our inception in 2003, YBLC has been a beacon of hope for over 1,500 youth, who have collectively contributed more than 100,000 hours of community service through their construction projects and volunteer work.

Today, YBLC serves over 100 young people annually across our three programs and continues to offer ongoing support to our alumni. As a recognized 501(c)3 organization, and recipient of a Gold Star of Transparency from GuideStar, you can be assured that your support is a strong investment.
