American YouthWorks


 

About

American YouthWorks is a 501(c)(3) organization based in Austin, Texas that is dedicated to empowering youth through education and green jobs training. We operate a public charter high school, a GED program, and three green jobs training and service programs: Casa Verde Builders, Health Corps, and Media Corps. For more than thirty years, American YouthWorks has assisted thousands of local youth in transforming their lives through community service, education, and a commitment to preserving the natural environment.

American YouthWorks welcomes volunteers who can share their skills and talents with our students. In addition to working with students on an academic subject, speaking with our young people about your work experience is a great way to expose them to a variety of career options.
