What Missouri loses when we cut YouthBuild

The article tells the personal story of a young person who faced severe bullying and discrimination, leading them to drop out of school. It highlights YouthBuild, a program that offers an alternative to traditional schooling, providing support and opportunities for at-risk youth. Cutting YouthBuild would mean losing a vital resource for marginalized students who need programs like this to thrive. The implications are significant, as such cuts could exacerbate educational inequality and limit the potential of those most in need of support.
