  • YouthBuild trains at-risk youth in construction, leadership skills and how to manage money.

The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund's programs...

The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund supported YouthBuild and at-risk youth in Haiti. YouthBuild trains kids 16 and up on construction and leadership skills, and shows them how to manage money. They give the trainees equipment, uniforms, a daily meal, a travel allowance, and a starter set of hand tools that will allow them to get a job as soon as they graduate.

The programs shown in this slide show are only a small sample of the programs that the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund supported. Learn more about YouthBuild and other Clinton Bush Haiti Fund programs.
