YouthBuild

Pre-apprenticeship program for young adults 16-24 who left school without a diploma, combining paid construction and trade training with GED completion through local community organizations.

Why I recommend it: Paid training plus a diploma path in one program. Ask the local site about their next enrollment cycle.

Job Corps

Free residential and non-residential career training and education for people ages 16-24 from low-income backgrounds, including housing, meals, and a living allowance during training.

Why I recommend it: The housing and stipend piece is what makes this work for people who cannot train and pay rent at the same time.
