Mrs. Christie was given an informative tour of the YouthBuild Institute at Isles, Inc. in Trenton by one of the students who attends the school.  Following her tour, the first lady had a chance to sit down at a round table with other students, as well as representatives from other YouthBuild programs around the state, including Camden, Newark, and Elizabeth.  YouthBuild is a nationally-recognized evidence-based program that engages young people who have dropped out of school and are either involved in the criminal justice system or are at-risk of becoming involved in criminality.
