Congratulations to Billie Neel, our September Shining Star! ⭐

Billie was recognized for the care she gives participants and the initiative she brings to the team. When staff encountered a reporting problem, she entered the needed information in B2B Engage and created a report.

A colleague also shared how Billie spent evenings during an out-of-town orientation checking on participants, meeting their needs, and documenting services. Her willingness to help coworkers and the positive feedback she received from a business partner demonstrate the difference she makes.

Thank you, Billie, and congratulations!

What does it take to help a young person move from training into a lasting career? Strong partnerships and a path to opportunities like apprenticeship.

Our Director of Programs, Angi Chandler (seated in the middle), joined a panel at the 2026 YouthBuild New Grantee Orientation to discuss how YouthBuild programs can build those connections.

We were honored to have our New River/Mount Rogers YouthBuild program represented in a conversation with programs and partners from across the country.

Also pictured are Mary McCrae and Antonio McCoy of YouthBuild Global and Jeff Hunt of the U.S. Department of Labor.

Great work, Angi! We’re proud of you and of the young people and partners who make our YouthBuild program possible.
