YouthCare Seattle

We recently celebrated another CRE Program graduation! For nine weeks, these students were introduced to various career avenues in the Commercial Real Estate world including design, technical trades, facility management, and project management.   We can't thank Porter enough for their partnership in building out this program and sharing their gorgeous space, The Shop by Porter!   Congratulations to this latest cohort, we can't wait to see all the amazing things you do next!

Elena grew up incarcerated. From the age of seven, she was in and out of jail until she was transferred to a juvenile facility at twelve, then at fourteen given a juvenile life sentence (juvenile detention until 18). Her astonishing journey from an orphanage in Bulgaria to the passion she now has for helping others is a story of inspiration, patience, and the trust that can be built when people take the time to see where others are coming from.

Congrats to YouthBuild's latest graduates! Fourteen students dedicated six months to learning construction skills and building a tiny home for the Low Income Housing Institute, all while working towards their GED.
