The national YouthBuild network benefits from an extraordinary public-private partnership between agencies of the federal government and the national non-profit organization YouthBuild USA, and with community-based. non-profits.
The federal YouthBuild program is authorized under the Workforce Investment Act, managed by the US Department of Labor (DOL), and funded through annual appropriations determined by Congress. Local community-based YouthBuild programs apply competitively for grants from DOL.
The federal YouthBuild program has majority bi-partisan support in both Houses of Congress. It was first introduced by Senator John Kerry (D-MA) with bi-partisan support and signed into law under President George Bush in 1992. It has been sustained by Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
YouthBuild USA participated in the creation of the federal YouthBuild program through collaboration with champions in Congress, and continues through the YouthBuild Coalition of 1,000 organizations to advocate for the annual appropriation. Senators John Kerry (D-MA) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME) and Representatives John Lewis (D-GA), and Shelly Moore Capito (R-WV) are the primary advocates for increased appropriations annually.
YouthBuild USA also works with DOL as a training and TA provider selected through a competitive process to assure the quality and increase the impact of local YouthBuild programs. It also raises other public and private funds for innovation, sustainability, and impact.
Community- and faith-based non-profit organizations sponsor most YouthBuild programs, although about 20% are sponsored by local public agencies.
Each YouthBuild program is responsible for securing its own funding. Generally, each program receives a mix of government funding--federal, state and local--and private support from foundations and corporations in their geographic area. Local YouthBuild programs also collaborate with other community-based organizations and local government agencies to provide in-kind resources for their students and their graduates. YouthBuild USA provides pass-through grants to local YouthBuild programs that are voluntary members of the YouthBuild USA Affiliated Network amounting to an average of ten million dollars of public and private funds each year.
Primary funding for local YouthBuild comes from the U.S. Department of Labor, administered by the Employment and Training Administration (ETA). The federal appropriation in FY09 is $70 million, supplemented by $50 million in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Since 1994, YouthBuild USA has been the federal government’s primary contractor for training, technical assistance, and quality assurance for YouthBuild grantees, selected through successive competitions.
Following are summaries of the major partners of YouthBuild USA and local YouthBuild programs:
