History of YouthBuild Charter School of California

     YouthBuild Charter School of California was founded by Phil Matero based on his strong belief that all young people, regardless of their circumstances, should have access to a quality education that would prepare them to counter social inequities and realize their full potential. The school was launched and continues to be supported by the national organization YouthBuild USA in response to California YouthBuild programs’ need for a robust high school diploma based education option for their students (instead of the GED.)  Our school is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and authorized by the Inyo County Superintendent of Schools.
