PARTNERS

Since 2001, Blueprint 502, formerly YouthBuild Louisville, has enjoyed the partnership of hundreds of local businesses, corporations and foundations, non-profit agencies, governmental agencies and individuals to stand beside us and our young people and help them design a plan for their lives.  These partnerships have brought financial support, needed services, tangible and intangible gifts for our young adults to use as stepping stones to success.  

While changing the circumstances of poverty has always been our unwavering goal, bringing daily hope and possibilities to youth’s lives and the communities we serve would not have been possible without partnerships.  We have never walked this journey alone.  Our growth and our young people’s futures depend on the tight and trusting relationships we have forged and will continue to build and carry into the coming years.

Thank you for every smile, hand up and role each partner has and will play to ensure that all of our young families boat’s rise together.

  • Nursing was awarded $31,300 to support 41 lower-income youth, ages 18-24, in getting their GED. These funds also support youth obtaining nursing workforce certifications and being placed into employment or college at the end of their program.
