Trampled Underwood I once knew a kid whose favorite part of watching a video -- any video -- was the FBI warning screen. It was so weird an affliction that if he was out of the room making, say, microwave popcorn, he would beg us to rewind back to the screen upon his return.

Apparently his dad or uncle was in the FBI or something. I was reminded of this as I watched Carrie Underwood sing the opening theme song for the Sunday Night Football game.

I know this puts me in a tough spot, so before any of you Carrie Underwood fans get upset, I am not making fun of her ... just the spot she is in. To set the scene, my brother-inlaw and I are sitting down, ready to watch the Cardinals lose to the Patriots. There is a brief introduction from Al Michaels, and then all of sudden, you've got Carrie Underwood in a sparkly cocktail dress shimmying through locker rooms, singing some peppy song, telling us there's a game and the Cardinals and Patriots will be the par-

By Chris Richcreek

1. In 2014, pitcher Matt Shoemaker set an Angels record for most victories by a rookie (16). Who had held the mark of 14?

2. Who are the only two Japanese pitchers to toss a no-hitter in Major League Baseball?

3. Name the last team before the Seattle Seahawks (2012-15 seasons) to lead the NFL in fewest points allowed for at least four consecutive seasons.

4. North Carolina's Ty

ticipants.

We didn't even have a bet on the game (though I was insistent that New England would win), but we did have an argument about Carrie Underwood that escalated into a wager.

For one thing, we didn't know it was Carrie Underwood. I'm a country-music fan, but I'm into Loretta Lynn and Johnny Cash, so every new female country singer is Miranda Lambert as far I know. My brother-in-law disagreed.

"It's Shania Twain," he insisted. We came to a loose agreement that it could be Taylor Swift.

The words to the song start as follows: "America's game, been waiting all day / the best of the best have come to play / the gang's all here, let's turn it up / it's the NFL, can't get enough!"

I have a few issues with this seemingly innocuous beginning of what is simply supposed to be a warm welcome. For one thing, unless you are a fan of the Patriots and Cardinals or had to spend your entire day working, chances are you haven't been waiting all day for the game. (Yes, we know you Lawson set a record in 2009 with eight steals in the NCAA Tournament championship game in men's basketball. Who had held the mark of seven?

5. Florida's Jaromir Jagr (44) set an NHL record in the 2015-16 seasons for most goals (27) and points (66) by an NHL player 43 years old or older. Who had held the record?

6. How many Olympic medals has the U.S. won in table tennis?

7. In 2015, golfer Jordan Spieth won five events during the PGA season, becoming the youngest player (22 years old) to do so since whom?

fantasy footballers have a stake in the game, too ... we know this because you won't ever SHUT UP about your starters.)

Then there's the part about the "gang." I don't know if my brother-in-law and I can really constitute a "gang." We were in fraternities in college, and I'm a member of the Optimist Club, but I can't say I've ever been in a gang. Also, I can't ever recall ever using the term to describe me and a bunch of friends.

Like, when the wife calls and asks where I am, never once did I say I was with "the gang."

Anyway, Underwood is acting sassy all over the place ... in front of team buses, through men's locker rooms, in the tunnel, on the field. She brushes past Eli Manning, who looks confused as always ... she tosses a helmet at Clay Matthews, points at a sponsor's sign and shows us her legs before launching fireworks. I'm thinking to myself, I'd just rather be listening some more to Al Michaels or watch the cheerleaders. Who really ne e ds t his op ening segment? Then my sister came in the room. "Oh, did I miss the Carrie Underwood part? Can you rewind it?"

Well, I guess it beats an FBI warning.

ast week began as "must see" TV as the long hyped and anticipated first Clinton / Trump Presidential Debate aired Monday night, September 26.

The evening began with moderator Lester Holt of NBC explaining there would be 6 segments with a lead off question to both candidates for two minute responses and then a follow up open discussion. The three topic areas w o u l d b e Ac h i e v i n g Prosperity ; America's Direction; and Securing America.

Setting the tone for the evening, his first question about achieving prosperity was prefaced by "There's been a record six straight years of job growth and new census numbers show incomes have increased..."

Following are the 6 two minute questions.

Achieving Prosperity 1. Why are you a better choice than your opponent to create the kinds of jobs that will put more money into the pockets of American workers?

2. Secretary Clinton, you're calling for a tax increase on the wealthiest Americans. Defend that.

Mr. Trump, you're calling for a tax cut for the wealthy.

Defend that.

America's Direction 1. The share of Americans who say race relations are bad in the country is the highest it's been in decades.

So how do you heal the divide?

2. Secretary Clinton, do you believe that police are implicitly biased against black people?

Mr. Trump, why did it take 5 years for you to say the president was born in the U.S.?

Securing America 1. Our institutions are under cyber attack and our secrets are being stolen, who's behind it and how do we fight?

2. On nuclear weapons, President Obama reportedly considered changing the na-

tion's long standing policy on first use. Do you support the current policy?

During the entire debate, Trump talked more than Clinton (8,455 words to Clinton's 6,119).

So how was he allowed to talk so much more than Clinton?

Simple. He was asked more follow-up questions and challenging comments from Lester Holt.

1. How are you going to tell American manufacturers they have to come back?

2. Why won't you release your taxes? The IRS says you can.

3. Why were you initially for the Iraq War and you say you were always against it?

4. Holt replied (in Candy Crowley fashion) that Trump was wrong on the "stop and frisk" policy and it is unconstitutional 5. What did you mean by your earlier in the month comment that "Clinton doesn't have a presidential look?

And what were the adverse follow-up and challenging comments for Secretary Clinton?

Zero, there weren't any. Of course, moderator?? Lester Holt had the opportunity to follow up with Clinton about: 1. Total unrest in the Middle East.

2. The Iran nuclear deal.

3. The Benghazi fiasco.

4. The FBI Investigation 6. Her current health issues.

7. Her comments about "deplorables" And, surprisingly, Lester Holt decided not to do any follow up on these.

And to top off the debate, when Lester Holt announced "we are at the final question," Clinton, as if on cue, interrupted with "Well, one thing, one thing, Lester." And as if "planned," Hillary launched into a tirade of Trump against women and brings up the now infamous Beauty Queen.

And, as expected as soon as the debate was over, the liberal mainstream media

declares Hillary the debate winner and focused on how awful Trump has been to women, omitting most of what occurred in the first 80 minutes of the debate.

If you didn't see the debates here are some of the quotes from Trump you may never hear.

"Typical politician. All talk, no action. Sounds good, doesn't work. Never going to happen."

"I will bring back jobs. You can't."

"I'm going to cut taxes big league. You're going to raise taxes big league. End of story."

"She's got experience. Bad experience."

"You called TPP the gold standard."

As the week continued, thanks in part to Trump tweeting, the beauty queen stayed in the news cycle until replaced last Saturday by Trump's supposed 1995 tax returns from an anonymous source. Every day CNN and others issue the disclaimer that "we don't know if this is true or not," and then proceed to talk about it as if it is factual.

This election could come down to who is the angriest.

Across America, many are angry at politicians for getting nothing done.

They are angry at the political system that has made their lives miserable, and they're angry at the media who has lost credibility and is as one sided as many politicians.

They're angry at the injustice of the court system from all sides, and they're angry at where America's future is heading.

This election will be a vote against, not a vote for.

"We are proud to receive the Gold Circle of Quality," said Sarah Mayberr y Estrada, Director of Bright Start. "Providing quality in early learning and development will help our children in Mount Vernon be better prepared for success in school and in life."

Research in science and brain development shows that children who are more meaningfully engaged in early learning experiences from infancy through the first five years of life are more likely to be successful in school and in life. With the right engagement, children can form a healthy foundation of neural pathways in the brain, which impact their ability to think, react, process and grow. For more information, or to register your child at Bright Start, call 618-244-2462. Project Child assistance is also available for those who qualify.

IMMEDIATE OPENING! Cooking With Lizzie

Favorite Amish & Mennonite Desserts

Both the Amish and Mennonites are well known for their baking skills, and that includes pies, cakes, cookies, breads and fruit desserts. My love of baking started as a little girl in my grandmother's kitchen.

Although she was not Amish or a Mennonite but was German, her baking was comparable to the excellent kitchen skills of the Amish and Mennonites. The sad part is many of the old recipes have been lost over the years, or they were never written down. Some of my favorite recipes follow and are popular with the Amish and Mennonites.

Cinnamon Bread

2 cups milk 1 T. vanilla extract 2 T. shortening, softened 2 eggs, slightly beaten 1 cup warm water 2 cups quick oatmeal (not old-fashioned) 1 pkg. active dry yeast 5½-6 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 3/4 cup brown sugar 2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 T. salt Oil and butter for brushing In small saucepan, combine milk and shortening; scald over medium heat. In large, warm mixer bowl, combine warm water and yeast with fork; set aside in warm place to proof, until mixture starts to bubble, about 10 min. To hot milk, add 1/4 cup brown sugar, salt, and vanilla; mix. Add to yeast water mixture, then stir in beaten eggs and oatmeal; blend. Add half the flour and mix well. Gradually work in rest of flour.

Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 min. Return to large oiled bowl, and oil top of dough. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour, or a bit more. After dough has risen, punch down thoroughly and divide in half. On floured board, roll out each half into 13x8" rectangle, pressing out as many air bubbles as possible. Combine remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle half on each rectangle (do not butter first). Roll tightly, beginning at short edge. Pinch edge of dough to seal well; press in ends of roll. Place loaves, seam side down, in 2 well-greased 9x5x3" loaf pans. Brush lightly with oil. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, 30 to 45 min. Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake loaves 10 min., lower heat to 350°F, and bake 25 to 30 min. longer, or until loaves are deep golden brown and make hollow sound when tapped. Immediately spread tops of hot loaves with cold butter. Remove from pans and let cool. This bread freezes well. NOTE: Half-lard and half-vegetable shortening works well in this recipe. If dough rises too high and flops over sides of pans before baking, carefully cut off excess raw dough with scissors. Makes 2 loaves.

2 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups granulated sugar 2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 tsp. baking soda 4 eggs 1 tsp. salt 3 cups finely shredded carrots (3/4 lb.)

1 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 cup chopped pecans, medium fine 1¼ cups vegetable oil CREAM CHEESE FROSTING 1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened Speck of salt (no substitutes) 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans 1 lb. confectioners, sugar Preheat oven to 325°F. In large mixer bowl, combine flour and next 4 ingredients. In another large mixer bowl, combine oil, sugar, and vanilla and blend. Add eggs, 1 at a time, and mix well. Quickly mix in carrots and nuts. Pour over flour mixture, and combine gently. Pour batter into oiled 9x13" cake pan, and bake approximately 45 to 55 min., or until top springs back when touched lightly with finger, and begins to shrink away from sides of pan. Let cool completely. In large mixer bowl, whip cream cheese and butter for frosting until well blended. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, then vanilla and salt. Beat well. Spread cream cheese frosting on cooled cake and sprinkle pecans over top. NOTE: Because of cream cheese in frosting, cake should be refrigerated, but flavor will be better brought to room temperature before serving. Serves 12-16.

Oatmeal Cake

1 cup one-minute quick oatmeal, uncooked 1/2 tsp. salt 1½ cups boiling water 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened 1½ cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 tsp. grated nutmeg 2 eggs FROSTING 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter 1 cup chopped nuts, either pecans 1 cup brown sugar or English walnuts 1 (5 oz.) can evaporated milk 1 tsp. vanilla extract 8 (oz.) flaked coconut Speck of salt Place oats in small bowl and pour boiling water over. Let stand 20 min. Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt on wax paper. Set aside. In large mixer bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add vanilla and gradually add sugars, beating until fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Add oatmeal mixture and blend. Add flour mixture and blend again. Pour batter into oiled 13x8" baking pan.

Bake 35 min., or until top of cake springs back when touched with fingertip. While cake is baking, prepare frosting. Melt butter in large saucepan. Add brown sugar and cook until mixture bubbles up. Add milk, and bring again to boil. Remove from heat and add rest of ingredients. Spread hot frosting on hot cake as soon as cake is done. Turn oven up to broil and broil cake about 6 inches from heat 2 min., or until frosting bubbles all over the cake. Let cool before cutting. Makes 12 large servings. *** If you have a favorite recipe and want to share it with us, just send it in c/o The Shopper's Weekly, P.O.

C ongressman John Shimkus (R, Illinois-15) backed two House-passed bills this week to prohibit any future cash payments to Iran and to bring transparency to the Islamic Republic’s corrupt financial dealings.

“According to President O b a m a’s o w n S t at e Department, Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism,” said Shimkus. “Under no circumstances should the United States send Iran cash that can and will be used to fund acts of terror against civilians, our troops or our allies.”

H.R. 5931, which passed the House on Thursday with bipartisan support, would prohibit the United

States from making any cash payments to Iran until the President certifies that Iran is not a primary money laundering concern or a state sponsor of terrorism.

The bill reiterates that it is the policy of the United States Government not to pay ransom or release prisoners for the purpose of securing the release of United States citizens taken hostage abroad.

“When we think of our nation’s efforts to stop terrorism, we often imagine airstrikes in Iraq or special forces in Afghanistan,” continued Shimkus. “Those military campaigns are important, but we must also target the flow of money that funds terrorist organizations and opera-

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You are usually decisive about most matters. But you might want to defer your decision-making this week until you get more facts. Someone is holding out on you.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) That quiet period is ending, and a new burst of activity creates some problems at the workplace. But things are soon resolved, and everything goes back to normal.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Relationships could be either helpful or hurtful as you pursue your career goals. You might have to make some difficult choices depending on what your priorities are.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might still have some doubts about a career move that could involve a lot of travel. If so, continue to check things out until you feel secure about making a decision.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Love rules, as Venus continues to exercise her cosmic influence on both single and attached Pisces. New developments might cause you to change your travel plans.

H.R. 5461, which passed the House on Wednesday with even greater bipartisan support, would require the Treasury Secretary to develop and post online a list estimating the “funds and assets” held by senior Iranian political and military leaders, along with a description of how they acquired the assets and what those assets are used for. This report would be posted on the Treasury Department’s website in English, but also translated into the three main languages used inside Iran, and would be available in any of those forms in a way that is easy to download and share.

HEALTH & FITNESS

True friendship comes when silence between two people is comfortable.

–David Tyson Gentry

SPECIAL SECTION

PROTECT YOUR JOINTS AND PREVENT PAIN

J

oints play vital roles in the human body, forming the connections between bones and facilitating movement.

Damage to the joints can be especially painful, and that damage may result from conditions such as osteoarthritis or gout.

While not all joint pain is debilitating, the discomfort of joint pain is such that it’s wise for adults to take steps to protect their joints with the hope of preventing joint pain down the road. Recognizing that joint pain can negatively affect quality of life, the Arthritis Foundation offers the following joint protection tips to men and women.

• Forgo fashion with regard to footwear. When women choose their footwear, fashion should not be their top priority. According to the Arthritis Foundation (AF), three-inch heels stress the feet seven times more than one-inch heels and heels put additional stress on knees, possibly increasing women’s risk for osteoarthritis. Though heels may be fashionable, the risk of developing joint pain is not worth making the fashion statement.

• Get some green in your diet. A healthy diet pays numerous dividends, but many may not know that a healthy diet can help prevent joint pain. Green vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, kale and parsley

are high in calcium and can reduce age-related bone loss while also slowing cartilage destruction.

• Shed those extra pounds. If you start including more healthy vegetables in your diet, you might just start to lose a little weight as well. Such weight loss also can help your joints, as the AF notes that every extra pound a person gains

puts four times the stress on his or her knees. The AF also notes that research has shown that losing as little as 11 pounds can reduce a person’s risk of osteoarthritis of the knee by 50 percent.

• Hit the pool. Swimming is a great full-body workout and can be especially helpful to the joints.

The buoyancy of water supports the body’s weight, reducing stress on the joints and minimizing pain as a result. If possible, swimmers already experiencing pain should swim in heated pools, which can help relieve pain. While you can still benefit from swimming in pools with colder temperatures, cold water may not soothe the joints like warm water can.

IT’S WITH

DEDICATION, HONOR AND RESPECT THAT WE TAKE CARE OF OUR RESIDENTS AND YOUR LOVED ONES.

Call Us Today!

• Take breaks at work.

Many people develop joint pain thanks to their jobs. If you spend all day sitting at a desk or standing on your feet, try to find a greater balance between the two.

Joints can grow stiff from sitting all day, while standing throughout your work day can stress the joints.

Take a short break every 30 minutes to stand up and walk around if you spend most of your day at a desk.

If you stand a lot at your job, stop to sit down for a few minutes once every half hour.

MEN VISIT THE DOCTOR LESS FREQUENTLY THAN WOMEN

M

en and women have many similarities and many differences. Comparing the sexes can be complicated, as many such comparisons come with caveats that can explain many differences. But the disparity between how often men visit their doctors and women visit theirs defies such explanations, and men may want to start emulating women to ensure long-term health.

Various studies indicate that men are less likely to visit the doctor and tend to report ill health less frequently

t h an wom e n . T h e Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have found that, in the United States, women are more likely to visit the doctor and participate in annual exams than their male counterparts.

Similar studies have indicated this is not a distinctly American phenomenon. In a 2011 survey sponsored by insureBlue.co.uk, more than one in five men admitted they had not visited a general practitioner or other healthcare professional in the last 12 months. Only 14 percent admitted to

being happy to see a doctor if they had to, while one-third revealed that they only go to a doctor if their partner encourages them or in the case of a medical emergency.

Each man is different, so there is no one reason that men tend to visit the doctor less frequently than women. Women may place greater emphasis on preventative care than men, and women may be more comfortable with physicians because preventive care for women typically involves visiting gynecologists more than once

per year.

Men who do not visit the doctor frequently may not get the preventative care necessary to defend against illness and reduce risk of injury or disease. As a result, men may be living with undiagnosed illnesses or be self-medicating when problems arise. Men should visit their doctors at least once each year to have general physical examinations, which should include blood tests. Such visits also provide an opportunity to discuss any concerns men might have with their physicians.

DID YOU KNOW?

H

alitosis, or bad breath as it’s commonly known, can result from any number of factors.

While food can be a culprit, some additional factors may be contributing to mouth odor as well. Poor dental hygiene is a particular concern. According to Colgate and the American Dental Association, failure to brush and floss teeth regularly leads to the accumulation of food particles in the mouth. This food can collect bacteria and begin to break down, causing a bad aroma. Dry mouth is another condition that causes bad breath.

Without adequate saliva production, particles of

food that may cause odor are not swept away regularly. Bad breath also may be an indication of a medical condition elsewhere in the body. Upper respiratory infections and gastrointestinal disturbances may contribute to halitosis.

EAGLE LIFE

Ministries by: Cliff Sanders

Behold the Lamb Is there hope for America? Do you have a confident and lasting hope for your life? This election year we need to realize that it is not the donkey or elephant or any other political party that can solve the myriad problems of our country. The ultimate answer is allegiance to the Lamb of God. The actress Judy Garland once asked this haunting question, “If I am such a legend, then why am I so lonely?” John the Baptist pointed us to the answer to mankind’s age-old problem.

As he was baptizing multitudes in the Jordan River, he saw Jesus and declared, “‘Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world’ . . . Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples. And looking at Jesus . . . he said, ‘Behold, the Lamb of God!’ The two disciples heard him speak and they followed Jesus.” (John 2:29, 35-37) John revealed the problem of all mankind — sin; and

the only solution — the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the word. In the Old Covenant, God proscribed a sacrificial lamb to make atonement for sin. In the New Covenant, God’s Son, the Lamb of God, fulfilled all the Old Testament types and prophecies of the Lamb. To live with hope and freedom look to the Lamb of God. FOCUS ON THE LAMB OF GOD. Once you see Jesus, you can never be the same.

“Behold, the Lamb of God.” To worship God “in spirit and truth,” one must focus on the Lamb of God. He is the theme and song of heaven. (Revelation 5:6-13) Martin Luther pointed to Christ, “In this life, Christ is an example, showing us how to live, in his death, he is a sacrifice, satisfying for our sins;

in his resurrection a conqueror, in his ascension, a king; in his intercession a high priest.”

FIX YOUR FAITH IN THE SACRIFICE OF THE LAMB OF GOD. “The Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.” ( John 1:29) As Abraham was willing to lay his son on the altar as a sacrifice, so God laid His Son on the cross as our sacrifice for sin. (Genesis 22:7-8; John 3:16) The Passover Lamb was a type of Jesus. (Exodus 12:3) Isaiah prophesied of Christ’s suffering and sacrifice as a lamb led to slaughter (Isaiah 53) Only as we fix our faith on the power of the blood of Jesus can we live an overcoming life.

(Revelation 12:11) Jesus revealed the truth of the cross to a religious but lost Nicodemus. (John 3:13-14) FOLLOW THE LAMB. After John introduced the Lamb of God, we have this account of two of John’s disciples, “And they followed Jesus.” (John 2:32, 39) Who are you following? The book of

Revelation describes a sp e c i a l g roup of 144,000 Jews, who will be radical for Jesus.

“These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes.”

(Revelation 14:1-5) The scriptures call them the first fruits. We can also be radical, on fire followers of the Lamb.

This is what you were destined for. Are you following the Lamb?

FEAST AT THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB. “Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His wife has made herself ready.” (Revelation 19:7-9) What a joyous banquet in heaven awaits those whose names are written in “The Lamb’s Book of Life.” (Revelation 21:27) You must make yourself ready by faith in the blood of the Lamb.

What a glorious hope. ‘Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.”

YOUTHBUILD OF JEFFERSON AND MARION COUNTIES RECEIVES $1.1M GRANT YouthBuild of Jefferson and Marion Counties, a program of United Methodist Children’s Home, has been awarded a $1.1M grant from US D epar tment of L ab or.

Youthbuild has been serving young adults in Jefferson and Marion counties since 2006

and they are an asset to the community.

“It is an honor to be awarded the top amount from the US Department of Labor’s YouthBuild grant once again.

Our program has an incredible success rate, with over 85% of our youth graduating with

their GED/HSE and a certification in either construction or healthcare. Most all of them are finding jobs immediately after graduation. We will begin taking applications in late fall or early December for our next cohort of students,” says Sarah Usery, UMCH Vice President

of Community Services.

The current YouthBuild cycle will wrap up in October, with 23 participants completing the program. There will be a graduation ceremony on October 26. Sixteen participants will have earned their GED, and will choose either a

nursing or construction track to add further training and certification to their experience in the program.

One of the largest aspects of the Youthbuild program is the way they give back to the community while learning a skill. This cohort did an extensive amount of work rehabbing a home at 2027 Casey Avenue in Mt. Vernon. This house will be listed for sale around Thanksgiving, after completion.

We are excited to be fully funded for another two years, and hope to help many more young people complete their education and become active, working members of this community. For more information ab out t he Yout hBui ld program, please call Ryan Alton or Cheryl Young at 618242-6723 in Mt. Vernon, or 618-533-5288 in Centralia.

According to a press release from the Department of Labor: The U.S. Department of Labor announced today the award of $80.3 million in YouthBuild grants to nonprofit organizations in 35 states to help young people struggling to reach key educational and career milestones and to equip themselves to be successful in the workforce and engaged in their communities.

YouthBuild is a community-based, alternative education program that provides job training and educational opportunities for at-risk youth, ages 16-24. The grants announced today range from

approximately $700,000 to $1.1 million each and will fund 77 YouthBuild programs.

U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez said, “YouthBuild provides young people with an important opportunity to gain the education and skills they need for good-paying jobs, while also helping them become more engaged members of their communities. That can mean everything to a young person who didn’t get the easiest start in life.”

YouthBuild is a community-based alternative education program that provides classroom instruction and occupational skills training to youth ages 17 to 24 who have been in the juvenile justice system, are aging out of foster care, have dropped out of high school or are otherwise at-risk of failing to reach key educational and career milestones.

The classroom training component leads to a high school diploma, general education development or other state-recognized equivalency diploma. The occupational skills training component provides YouthBuild participants with industry-recognized certifications in construction or other in-demand occupations, such as health care and information technology.

Leadership development and community service are also key elements of the YouthBuild program, helping to ensure that participants maintain a connection to their communities through public service and volunteerism.
