YouthBuild: ‘Coming out and
working is a break from school’
■ Continued from Peg* 1
before Age* YuuthBuild
participants spend « year a|t«r.
nating one w««k of building
houses for low-incoma and
homeless families with one
week of being taught «n das# At
the and of the program in
November. member* will be
placed in construe tion-ralatad
Job* or enrolled in college
In addition to gaining con
struction experience and an
education, participant* earn
minimum wage for 75 hour* of
con struct ton work, plus a *50
per week stipend ter iwo week*
spent in classes each month
I 'pon completion the program,
members will also get a $2,350
AmertlU.rps tuition voucher
They also gain a sens* of
pride and ownership in the pro
gram. YuuthBuild Director
Diane Page said. "We are always
looking for opportunities to pro
mote leadership within the pro
gram," she said.
At the construction site, par
ticipants work in small groups
with construction instructors,
who encourage them to ask their
peers for help and to also come
up with ideas of their own
“The main goal* of the pro
grem are lead*>»*hip and pm
teaching." said Wendy Stanley,
one of the instructors "We usu
ally pair up someone who hasn't
done a certain construction job
with someone who has *
So far. two of the six planned
houses are almost finished,
except for carpeting, painting
and finish carpentry, which par
tici pants will si so do The hous
es are in the River Road area
In the classroom, participants
not only study for their fiO). or
prepare for college, but also
learn about construction, con
flict resolution, cultural history
and currant events.
“The participants are surpris
ingiy receptive to the classroom
part of tbs program, given that
they have had negative experi
ences with school in the past."
said Robert Spoeato. one of the
two Youth Build leathers
foreray Larson. 17. said this is
the only school he hasn't ouit
“A week of work and a week of
school is good for me because
it'a not too much school. Com
ing out here and working is my
break from school "
Another way participants
build their leadership skills is
through the Youth Policy Com
mittee. a group of six elected
members who meet weekly with
Page to discuss such Issues as
program policies, resource allo
cation. and even the selection of
participants
“The idea is to involve them
in real decisions, not just who
plans the group party," Page
said.
Yet another component of the
program is counseling Every
member participates in weekly
therapy sessions, both privately
and in a group, to deal with
issues including abuse, drug
addiction, criminal activity and
anger management
Claire Manning, the Youth
Build counselor, is familiar with
the participants' problems
because she said she also came
from an abusive home that made
her run to the streets Pregnant
at 19, a drug abuser and fre
quemly arrested. Manning said
her past is her best asset with
the participants
That's the most important
part of my counseling — that
they feel there is someone they
tin talk to." she Mid
While Pag*> Mid she it pleased
with tho program's first three
months, she ia worried about the
program * future "Federal fund
ing for neat year ia looking di*
tail, which ia too bad." aha said
In the meantime. Page it took
tng for college interna for van
ooa position*, a researcher to
evaluate the program, student*
in landscape and design to help
tutor, and students interested in
teaching computer skills
Smelt stipends and/or school
credit may be arranged Por
more information, call the
YouthBuild office at MU 2474
Despite the future uncertainty
of the program, at least for now
31 young people have a chance
at something other than daily
survival on the street* Jayson
Wilson, 1ft. said the program has
shown him a way out of gang
activity in Springfield
"1 got to turn things around in
my life, and I’m going to do it
with this program," he said
"With my past history with the
police, nobody would give me a
chance like YouthBuild has Yi
opened a lot of doors for me “
