With youth leaders at the forefront, we advocate for increasing federal appropriations for the U.S. Department of Labor YouthBuild Programs, and for expanding national service funding for opportunity youth.
FY21 letters in support of YouthBuild from our bipartisan Congressional champions are here.
Congressional leaders hear firsthand how their actions impact the lives of opportunity youth and, critically, what Congress can do to better support the communities in which our young people live.
The late Congressman John Lewis, Congressman Scott Perry, Senator John Cornyn, and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand have championed YouthBuild through the FY21 appropriations process on both sides of the aisle in both Congressional chambers.
