Anthony was struggling personally and academically and fell behind in high school. Anthony found a second chance at YouthBuild Community Teamwork, Inc. where he earned his HiSET, gained industry-recognized construction certifications, completed meaningful community service, and developed valuable life skills. With YouthBuild’s support, he transitioned from part-time work to a full-time position with the City of Lowell DPW, earned his Class A CDL, and is now thriving in a stable, rewarding career. Anthony’s success is a powerful example of how YouthBuild empowers young people to reach their full potential and the impact Community Action Agencies have!
