The Fall River
YouthBuild program held its
third annual graduation at its Bank Street facility on June 25, 2009.
Twenty-seven completers assembled in the gymnasium of the Veterans'
Memorial Auditorium on Bank Street that serves as the program's headquarters. The program, a ten-month
construction skills training curriculum for men and women ages 17-24 who
have not completed high school run by the Old Colony YMCA,
has been in operation in Fall River
since August of
2006. Greetings were given by Mayor Robert Correia, Old Colony Y
executive director Vincent Martuano, and Fall River YMCA director Frank
Duffy. Students John Buckley and Ashley Woods shared comments on their
experiences as students in the year-long program before certificates and
awards were presented by director Terry Moran and other members of the
YouthBuild staff.
