About Dorene E. Fourar
At YouthBuild Brownsville, I focus on creating meaningful systems that empower young leaders to thrive professionally, academically, and personally. Whether it’s through launching new initiatives, curating purpose-driven curricula, or showing up every day for my team and students, I strive to lead with both strategy and heart.I’m especially passionate about using communications as a tool for impact, and I bring that lens into every project I touch. For me, success is measured not just in outcomes, but in the lives we help shape and the barriers we help dismantle.
Experience
Director of Youthbuild
Feb 2023 — Present · Brownsville, TX, US
As Director of YouthBuild, I lead a transformative program that empowers young adults through education, job training, and community service. Under my leadership, the program has expanded steadily, increasing student enrollment by 5–7 grads annually while securing additional funding each grant cycle. I oversee program development, strategic partnerships, and workforce initiatives to ensure participants gain the skills and support needed for long-term success. By collaborating with local organizations, educators, and industry leaders, I create opportunities with my teammates for students to earn credentials, secure employment, and contribute meaningfully to their communities. Committed to youth development and social impact, I strive to build a future where every young person has the tools to implement the talent they have.
