EY Connect Day x BUILD

BUILD is proud to be a partner of EY and one of the signature initiatives for its global corporate responsibility program, EY Connect Day. On November 3, EY employees from Boston and the Bay Area visited BUILD schools and supported students on college applications, marketing research, Idea Pitch feedback, and post-high school preparation. The BUILD community thanks EY for their years of support and for EY Connect Day’s mission-driven focus.

We are looking forward to partnering on the next one! 👏 

Now it’s shout-out time! Starting, BUILD gives a warm thank you to the Boston team CHU, who designed a health-conscious gum for fighting vitamin deficiency. EY volunteers were blown away by the innovation of Mr. Benson’s BUILDers. BUILD is also grateful to EY California Regional Board Member Aaron Ow-Yeang, EY California Associate Board Member Shannon Sloss, Mariam Nouri, and Satyadeep Beta for their passionate support of BUILD and the youths we all serve! 

EY’s Connect Days are quarterly days of service when all EY people in the Americas can volunteer together to support EY Ripples, which is their global corporate responsibility program. Learn more about EY and EY’s Connect Days by clicking here
