Great story (and, you know, front-page, above-the-fold placement doesn't hurt) and accompanying photos in today's paper about the promise and plight of North St. Louis YouthBuild, a GED prep and construction training program in North St. Louis (where the co-founder of this site happens to work). These kids have worked really hard to make positive changes in their lives and their neighborhood, and it's really nice to see someone tell their story.
Audio slideshow (make sure to turn on the captions) is highly recommended, too.
