YouthBuild Charter School of California Home

We sat down with Brenda Guizar, a 2022 graduate from our site at Compton YouthBuild, to talk to her about her YouthBuild experience, her advice for young people thinking about joining YouthBuild, and what she's been up to since she graduated. Check out our video interview with her on YouTube by clicking on the heading above.

Is earning your high school diploma worth the time and effort? Definitely! With a diploma, you can increase your earning potential and find more job opportunities, go to college or trade school, complete an apprenticeship and get a union job, start a business, or join the military. If you had to leave high school early and are looking for a second chance to earn your diploma, YouthBuild Charter School of California can help!

Now, more than ever, our immigrant students and their families need support. As ICE raids have escalated in Los Angeles and the surrounding areas this week, many in our immigrant community are afraid to leave their homes. Help is needed to support them with groceries, transportation and housing during this difficult time. If you are able, please consider making a donation to our Building Hope Crisis Fund.

The safety of our students, staff, and their families is always our top priority. We want to remind all of our staff, students, and their families that immigrant students are protected by law in the state of California under AB 699. YCSC will not release information to third parties for immigration enforcement purposes, except as mandated by court order. We have compiled a page of resources to support our immigrant community, including legal resources, hotline numbers, and know your rights materials. Click the heading to view.
