“From the day I stepped foot into YouthBuild North Central West Virginia, my life has never been the same. It's like I jumped onto a moving train to success.”

SHARELL HARMON

“Since I’ve come to YouthBuild, during the past five months I’ve obtained my GED, my OSHA certification, business computer classes through Garrett College, and I’ve also obtained a First Aid and a food handlers card. Overall, it helped me obtain a stable job and gave me a better mindset and a higher confidence level.”
