An innovative Alternative High School Model in Mexico: In partnership with YouthBuild USA’s International team, and modeled on YouthBuild charter high schools in the U.S., YouthBuild México (YBM) has successfully designed, piloted and scaled a network of alternative high schools that serve young people (ages 18–29) who have not completed their high school education and who, due to their age, can no longer access traditional schools.

Santa Fe YouthBuild Graduate Joseph Salazar completed the YouthBuild program five years ago. Now he’s thriving in the high-demand field of culinary arts.
