YouthBuild Preparatory Academy emerged from the foundational work of YouthBuild Providence, where we recognized the need for an educational path tailored to the aspirations of our students. Our students themselves expressed the desire for a high school option, leading to the creation of YouthBuild Preparatory Academy. Today, we serve as a dedicated public school in Providence, RI, committed to a l

iberating educational experience that addresses the unique needs of boys and young men of color, while welcoming all students. Our mission is to foster confident, civically engaged leaders prepared to challenge and transform systemic barriers.

YouthBuild Prep Academy needs your support. Tomorrow is Rhode Island's largest day of giving to the state's non-profit organizations: 401Gives.

The YouthBuild Prep Academy, which focuses on the needs of boys and young men of color, will benefit from this year's 401Gives donations. We are asking for the kind of support that only YouthBuild can provide—great results require the network's collective commitment!

This August, we celebrate Black Philanthropy Month—a time to recognize that philanthropy is about the community coming together to invest in its own future.

At YouthBuild Preparatory Academy, we see this spirit of collective investment every day. It's what allows us to provide a truly liberatory education for our scholars. Every contribution supports project-based learning, deepens our socio-emotional curriculum, and empowers the next generation of leaders.

This isn't just about donating; it's about actively building the world we want for our young people. Join us.

What a powerful morning at YouthBuild Preparatory Academy! We just wrapped our first YouthBuild Legacy Academy Community Panel, and the energy in the room was incredible.

A huge thank you to our brilliant panelists: Lisa Pina of the Nonviolence Institute, Bernadett Tavarez of Foster Forward, Donald Laliberte of Kids Link, and Christano Andrade of Bank of America. They shared their journeys, their challenges, and their passion for creating change with our students.

The best part? The insightful questions from our students.This discussion was the official launch of their summer projects, where they will step into the community to identify and address issues that matter. This is what liberatory education looks like in action.

Thank you to everyone who made today a success. This is just the beginning.
