ENTREPRENEURSHIP
IS THE SPARK.

We help students become the CEO of their own lives!

BUILD ignites the power of youth in under-resourced communities to build Career success, Entrepreneurial mindsets, and Opportunity.

WHY ENTREPRENEURSHIP?

A student’s opportunity is too often limited by their zip code, race and class.

We connect our young entrepreneurs to a network of volunteer mentors from the business world who help build a path toward accessible opportunities and achievement.
