Program Overview

BuildUp Community School helps families learn together. Adults can attend High School Equivalency (HSE) classes to improve reading, writing, and earn their GED, while children take part in fun literacy activities in the morning or afternoon. Parents and children also join weekly Parent and Child Together (PACT) sessions, where they read, write, and do activities together to practice literacy skills at home. YouthBuild, an additional program, serves 16–24-year-olds who left school without a diploma, combining classroom learning with hands-on career training. Programs are open to families in the community. BuildUp is located at 222 6th Ave SW, Birmingham, AL 35211. Families and volunteers are welcome!
