The Spring Benefit is our annual and largest fundraiser of the year for the organization and celebrating the 20th anniversary of YouthBuild Lake County will be extra exciting this year. Our Derby themed gala held in a repurposed barn venue will provide our 300 guests with themed entertainment, food stations, themed drinks, live auction, mission moment, and plenty of opportunities to socialize and network. Funds raised from this event will help to fill in the gaps between the grants to continue running the organization and serving young adults who are looking to do better for their lives.

Our mission is to provide underserved young adults with the education, training and life skills necessary to become gainfully employed and build a better future. Here at YouthBuild, we believe that every young person has the power to succeed and create a better life for themselves and their families with access to the right resources and support system. We offer free programs for underserved youth in Lake County to obtain their high school diploma, earn industry-recognized credentials and certifications, develop career readiness skills, and complete hands-on work experience so they can move into careers, college or vocational schools.
