Students attend classes and get hands-on training, all while preparing to apply to an apprenticeship or their first job in the trades. PYB students are deeply resilient. By holding our students to high standards while giving them exceptional levels of support, we help underserved youth build their confidence and abilities at the same time.
In our classrooms, highly trained certified teachers help youth build on their strengths in order to find academic success, while counselors help tackle the issues that may be keeping students from focusing on school. Career development at PYB goes beyond the basics. Through our counseling and case management services, Portland YouthBuilders offers youth access to vital resources, a school that is working towards anti-racism and equity, and the knowledge that a community of caring adults will always have their back.

Students finish high school, receive training in construction or technology, reduce or eliminate their barriers to success, and get placed in apprenticeships, jobs, or post-secondary education.
