Hear What Students Have To Say About YouthBuild Kitsap
Karsten L.
Before I started YouthBuild Kitsap I had no idea there were so many different trade jobs. I got the chance to learn about a lot of them and was surprised about what I liked - things I didn't think I would like grew on me. Through YouthBuild, I learned to focus on myself. I saw that when I paid attention to things people were bringing into my life, I would lose focus on my goal, so I made a decision to care about myself.

YouthBuild Kitsap was the best thing for me - it kicked started my life! I learned that there is a lot that I want to do with construction and there are plenty of opportunities to shoot for. Teamwork was the biggest take away for me. Especially when you are working with someone you aren't good friends with, it teaches you how to work with anyone you need.

I tell people that YouthBuild Kitsap is a fun experience and a great way to help you find a career in construction. I tell them how it helps you learn and gain new skills, but the biggest lesson that I took out of YouthBuild is that hard work pays off. When you truly focus and put all your time and effort in a project, it is very satisfying and rewarding knowing that you've done something worthwhile.
