Building In Youth

Building In Youth is a non-profit organization based in Longview, Washington, founded in 2011 as a division of Construction Workers Christian Fellowship. The organization employs between 20 and 49 people and generates revenue exceeding $10,000 annually. Building In Youth's primary mission is to encourage youth in Southwest Washington to consider careers in the construction industry. The organization achieves this by connecting volunteer mentors with construction experience to provide real-world training and guidance to young people. This training covers both construction skills and safety protocols, equipping participants with valuable job skills. A key aspect of Building In Youth's approach is its emphasis on mentoring. Trained mentors work alongside youth, fostering personal and professional development. The program focuses on building Godly character, encouraging realistic goal-setting, and promoting graduation. Building wheelchair ramps for veterans, the disabled, and the elderly provides practical experience and a sense of community service.
