Our Partnerships
You don’t need to be an employee or volunteer at YouthBuild Philly to be an important part of the work that we do. Many businesses and organizations in the nonprofit, government and private sectors are key allies in our efforts to prepare young people for a lifetime of success.
Whether it’s building a house, a mentoring program, a day of service – or a brand-new model of partnership entirely – we welcome partnerships and projects that benefit our students’ development and long-term success and contribute to the well-being of our city.
“…What changes people is when they’re standing next to a young person who says, ‘I can have a completely different life because of this.”
– Carmen Ferrigno, VP of Communications, Saint Gobain North America
