PYB Builds Lives and Communities

Since 1995, Portland Youthbuilders has been helping low-income youth take big steps forward in their education and begin their careers through a combination of high school completion, construction or technology training, counseling, and long term support. Every year PYB serves approximately 200 youth between the ages of 17-24 who have dropped out of high school and face significant barriers to success. Our Students are hopeful, brave, and determined individuals who are motivated by the desire to become self-sufficient and serve their community.

If you want to hear what our students have to say about us, we encourage you to watch this video. If you want to hear the story of Alana, who spoke at last year's Cornhole Classic, you can watch her story here.
