YouthBuild Philadelphia Charter School introduces itself with the line, "YouthBuild Philadelphia Charter School gives young adults a second chance to earn a high school diploma, gain hands-on work experience, and transform their lives," and gives the following descriptive information:

Every year, thousands of young people in Philadelphia drop out of school. This decades-long dropout crisis impacts individual lives by sustaining the cycle of underemployment and poverty, and threatens Philadelphia’s ability to thrive.

YouthBuild Philly was founded in 1992 to give high school dropouts a second chance and the opportunity to build a brighter future for themselves and their community. Our innovative program offers young at-risk adults a high school diploma, valuable job skills, and the opportunity to learn and grow in a community-oriented, supportive environment. We prepare our students for further educational attainment and meaningful careers as they become leaders and contributing members in a stronger Philadelphia.
