YouthBuild Boston

This Memorial Day, we remember and honor the brave heroes who served our country.

We’re reminded of the importance of community, service, and supporting one another.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

Thank you to Dimeo Construction Company for supporting YouthBuild Boston’s BuildFest as a Framework Sponsor!

Your generosity helps create opportunities for young people to connect with industry leaders, explore career pathways, and build strong futures in the construction industry and beyond. We are grateful for your continued support of our students and mission!

This Earth Day 🌍, we’re proud to celebrate how young people at YouthBuild Boston are helping build a greener, more climate resilient Boston.

Climate action looks local, practical, and community led. It looks like cooling strategies to address urban heat, 75 community garden beds across the city through GrowBoston, an outdoor kitchen at Haley House for farm-to-table learning, and innovative living roof bus shelters on Blue Hill Ave developed in collaboration with Weston Nurseries. It also looks like deconstruction and material reuse that reduce waste while creating pathways into green careers.

In neighborhoods most impacted by heat, food insecurity, and environmental inequity, our students are not just learning about solutions, they are helping lead them. They are building healthier neighborhoods and contributing to a more sustainable future for Boston.
