The CITY OF MILWAUKEE YOUTH COUNCIL is encouraging local young people

interested in participating must complete an academic assessment before

YouthBuild opportunity is an offer that’s too good to pass up. “MATC’s
YouthBuild initiative is a great opportunity for youth to earn their GED
and gain valuable work experience in construction,” he said.

not earned a high school diploma; and who has been convicted of a crime,
