Entrepreneurship is the spark. College, career and life success are the goals.
BUILD is an entrepreneurship program for underserved high school students that teaches them how to build their own business while becoming the CEO of their own lives.
Bridging Communities
We connect our young entrepreneurs to a network of volunteer mentors from the business world who light a path along the way, creating access and opportunity.
Every year in America, there are half a million, brilliant kids dropping out of high school.
Entrepreneurship means opportunity – for the students BUILD serves and for all of us through a more diverse, equitable and interconnected community.
