. The purposes of the California YouthBuild Program shall be
all of the following:
(a) To enable economically disadvantaged youth, especially youth
who have not finished high school, to obtain the education, job
skills training, personal counseling, leadership development skills
training, job placement assistance, and long-term followup services
necessary for them to achieve permanent economic self-sufficiency,
while at the same time providing valuable community service that
addresses urgent community needs, including the demand for affordable
housing and the need for young role models and mentors for younger
teenagers and children.
(b) To provide communities with the opportunity to establish or
rebuild neighborhood stability in economically depressed and
low-income areas, as well as historic areas requiring restoration or
preservation, while providing economically disadvantaged youth, and
youth who have not finished high school, an opportunity for a
meaningful participation in society.
(c) To allow communities to expand the supply of affordable
housing for homeless and other low-income individuals by utilizing
the energies and talents of economically disadvantaged youth and
young people who have not graduated from school.
(d) To foster the development of leadership skills and a
commitment to community development among youth.
