Our YouthBuild Academy, Fort Wayne students were locked in, competing, and having a great time together at our McCormick site! We kept the energy up with some pizza and gave everyone a chance to relax, bond, and build connections outside the classroom.

Moments like these are what make our community stronger teamwork, laughter, and a little friendly competition! 🍕🎮🎉

We will have our next YouthBuild orientation on April 7th at 11am located at 2609 Fairfield Ave.
