Youthbuild 1999 Grants: Project SummariesVermontKing Street Youth Center, Burlington, VT: The King Street Youth Center will use a $400,000 Youthbuild Implementation Grant to provide education, leadership development, support services, and on-site training for 28 Youthbuild trainees from Burlington's Old North End Enterprise Community. The participants will learn on-site construction skills by working to gut and rehabilitate a duplex and constructing a new two-bedroom affordable rental unit. All three units will be rented to low- or very low income residents of the Burlington Enterprise Community. Youthbuild Burlington's two-way Mentorship Program will enable the participants to develop presentations about drug and alcohol abuse for at-risk middle school students, while matching trainees with caring mentors form the community.Although King Street Youth Center is the lead in this proposal, the organization will work with several experienced partners to develop and implement the program. Key partners include Burlington Public Schools, the Burlington Community Land Trust, the City of Burlington, Spectrum Youth and Family Services, and Step-Up for Women. Cash and in-kind leveraging resources total $497,870 in support of this program. The program will afford the participants the opportunity to improve their lives and the lives of the economically disadvantaged.
