One of the major goals of Youthbuild Upstate is to provide support for low and very low income young adults through a network of individuals and agencies committed to helping young people change their lives for the better. In our effort to provide the necessary support for young people as they work through this process of personal transformation, we are seeking additional partners. The young adults participating in Youthbuild Upstate have specific needs such as transportation, program materials, emergency shelter and child care for which cash donations are very much appreciated. Monetary donations should be sent to:

Clemson University – Youthbuild
Department of Construction Science and Management
124 Lee Hall
Clemson, SC 29634

Note: All checks should be made out to Clemson University – Youthbuild

In addition YouthBuild Upstate needs donations of tools, equipment and building materials for construction skills training. For a complete listing of program needs.

Youthbuild Upstate is also seeking partners offering resources such as internships and job placement opportunities. We continue to seek individual, corporate and agency assistance to help us meet the personal and professional needs of Youthbuild trainees.

Youthbuild Upstate is a broad coalition of educational institutions, social service agencies and private industry partners. We realize there are other agencies, institutions and individuals in the community who have significant resources to offer Youthbuild trainees, as well. If you or your agency would be interested in joining the Youthbuild Upstate partnership, please contact Dr. Dennis C Bausman, Program Director at:
