Projects of Rural & Tribal Development Initiative

|
YouthBuild Rural & Tribal Development provides individual technical assistance to local programs, supports new site development, and offers training at rural national conferences for rural youth and rural program staff. In addition, in a concerted effort to garner the largest impact possible and respond to the needs of the YouthBuild field and rural & tribal communities nationally, other projects are initiated to: a) bolster rural & tribal programs and their impact locally through networking, partnership building and regional organization; b) inform pertinent rural & tribal policy issues impacting rural areas; and, c) augment leadership development experiences of rural & tribal young people and staff.
Regional Strategy for Sustainability
YouthBuild USA appreciates the unique challenges rural communities face nationally and the extent to which these challenges are further exacerbated in the historically underserved rural regions of Appalachia, the Mississippi Delta, the colonias/borderlands, and tribal areas.
