American YouthWorks
 
 
 
Based in Austin, Texas American YouthWorks (AYW) provides young adults (ages 16 to 28) with opportunities to build careers, strengthen communities, and improve the environment through education, on-the-job training, and community service. American YouthWorks is home to two primary programs: YouthBuild Austin (AYW-YB) and Texas Conservation Corps (TxCC). AYW-YB offer young adults the opportunity to complete their education by earning a high school diploma or GED. Students also simultaneously receive career training and certification in computer technology, healthcare, or the green jobs sector. In addition, YouthBuild provides customized support services, including: counseling, basic needs assistance (including food, clothing, shelter, toiletries, child care, health care, etc.), graduate support, college readiness, and a re-entry track for young people exiting the criminal justice system. AYW-YB students enter the program disconnected from education and employment; most are low-income and face a variety of barriers to reconnecting, including homelessness, pregnancy or single-parenting, involvement in the criminal justice or foster care systems, bullied LGBTQ youth, and young people with mental health issues and/or learning disabilities. AYW-YB case managers and teachers provide wrap-around services in addition to education and career training to ensure that students have the support needed to achieve their goals.
