Tree Trust YouthBuild

Tree Trust YouthBuild has transformed lives and communities for 19 years!

Tree Trust YouthBuild, a pre-apprenticeship program, offered young people ages 16-21 the unique opportunity to gain hands-on training and develop valuable career and leadership skills. Participants helped our community through home construction and tree care while earning a paycheck and working towards achieving their high school diploma.
Tree Trust YouthBuild has served over 1,000 young people since its inception in 2006. This program has been primarily funded through competitive government grants. Unfortunately, it was not selected for renewed funding, and we are no longer accepting applications. Please explore our Branches program for another paid work-experience training program.

“The feedback from our students who have participated in the Tree Trust YouthBuild program has been overwhelmingly positive. They express a great sense of accomplishment and take pride in seeing the daily results of their hard work. Many have highlighted the valuable skills they’ve gained and are interested in pursuing career paths in a related field. This experience has also positively impacted their self-esteem, a renewed confidence in other areas of interest and pursuit of goals, and sparked some of our student’s interest in environmental conservation and community service.”
