Our students have spent over twenty years building relationships with PGIM, from mock interviews to a case study competition, a fully stocked professional attire closet to the pearl-and-tie ceremony.

This partnership has given our young people a chance to see themselves in rooms they hadn't imagined yet. We're proud to share the full story of how it started and where it's headed next.

At YouthBuild Newark, we're not asking students to leave who they are at the door. We're helping them build on it with a trade, a credential, and a plan for what's next.

You already have what it takes. We're just here to help you refine it 🛠️

Our latest cohort of solar panel installation trainees spent the week on a live job site, putting weeks of classroom learning into practice alongside our national partner, Step-Up Solar.
It was hot outside, and yet our young people pushed through, working as a team to plan, coordinate, and execute the job from start to finish.
By the end of the week, every one of them earned their certification. Building a career in green energy means sustainable skills, strong teamwork, and resilience that carry them forward.

Back to the NJ statehouse this week.

Our Youth Policy Council is heading back to Trenton to tour the building, meet with legislators, and learn how state government works up close. The Youth Policy Council brings together elected youth representatives, staff, and program leadership to shape the direction of our policy work together.

Check out these highlights from our last visit!

What does it actually take to build a city? Our Construction CTE students found out.

At Prudential Global Investment Management (PGIM)'s active construction site in West New York, students explored how real estate developments come to life, from the planning to the day-to-day craft of construction. Seeing a major project up close and hearing from the professionals making it happen turns abstract career talk into a clear picture of what's possible. 🏗️

Thank you to PGIM for opening your worksite during # NationalApprenticeshipWeek.

YouthBuild has always been built on the belief that young people, given the right support, can transform themselves and their communities. This Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating the women who make that belief real.

Jasmine Joseph-Forman, Chief Program Officer at NOYN, is one of those women. She carries her grandmothers’ quiet strength, her aunt’s unapologetic confidence, and her mother’s legacy of service into this work every day.

“These are the women whose shoulders I stand on, only hoping to build the same legacy for my daughter and generations after her.”

To every young woman in YouthBuild: she sees you.
“You are worthy. You don’t have to become someone else to succeed. You just have to refine who you already are.”
