Celebrating 45 Years of Youth Action YouthBuild: Honoring Our Roots and Community
We recently celebrated our 45th Anniversary at El Barrio Artspace in East Harlem, honoring the grassroots origins of Youth Action YouthBuild (YAYB). This joyous event reunited founding members and key contributors, highlighting our journey from a local initiative to a global movement. On behalf of the YAYB staff and student body, we thank our friends, family, supporters, and honorees for your dedication to our community.
We sincerely thank El Barrio’s Artspace for graciously hosting our celebration. Their support allowed us to create a memorable event that united our community to celebrate our shared mission. A special thank you goes to Sapoara for providing the delicious food that ensured our guests and staff were well cared for throughout the evening. We also want to acknowledge our dedicated volunteers whose valuable time and effort made this event successful.
Reflecting on 45 years of supporting young people and building a stronger community, we look forward to continuing our work with the same passion and dedication for future generations. Thank you for being part of the Youth Action YouthBuild family. Here’s to many more years of growth and positive change!
