YouthBuild Lake County is funded by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) through the Illinois YouthBuild Coalition (IYBC). IYBC works to expand employment and education opportunities for low income or at risk youth by advocating for increased resources, public awareness, and involvement on behalf of youth-serving organizations in Illinois – primarily the YouthBuild programs of Illinois.

Come every day. Keep coming even after you get your diploma, because YBLC is still there for you. Don’t take this opportunity for granted because they care.

Jamaica, YBLC alum

Stay dedicated and strive for success. It’s not where you are but where you want to be.

Shemual, YBLC alum

It gets tough, but stick it out with a positive attitude. It will be worth it in the end.
