YouthBuild McLean County helps young people, ages 16 -24 who have not completed high school, develop leadership skills, complete their education and gain job skills. Inspiration for this project came from YouthBuild students who expressed a desire for an outdoor classroom, space to decompress or play basketball. Through Lowe's Hometowns, their outdoor space will be transformed with land grading, a water source, pavilion and signage. A sports court and garden beds will be added along with grass, goose nesting boxes and lights.
