To join YouthBuild, interested students participate in a week-long tryout called Mental Toughness. Applicants engage in various team-building activities and challenges during the week so YouthBuild team members can assess student readiness and preparedness for the YouthBuild curriculum.
In this video, YouthBuild director Caleb Weeks and several YouthBuild students discuss Mental Toughness and the importance of the YouthBuild program.
