Next, the program visits YouthBuild Louisville, a program that helps unemployed and undereducated young people, ages 16 to 24, build affordable housing for homeless a nd low-income families in their co mmunities. The youths split their time between the construction site and the classroom, where they earn their GEDs or high school diplomas and prepare for jobs or college.

Then, Louisville Life looks at the Governor's School for the Arts . For three weeks each summer, many of Kentucky's talented, creative high school students gather for in-depth instruction in one of eight artistic disciplines: architecture, creative writing, dance, drama, instrumental music, musical theat er , visual art or vocal music. More than 1,200 students audition for the program each year; approximately 230 students are admitted.
