Empowering Youth Through Entrepreneurship Education

We’re thrilled to celebrate National Entrepreneurship Week with an interview on Comcast Newsmakers “Empowering Youth Through Entrepreneurship Education” with our Mid-Atlantic Regional Executive Director, Sybil Mimy-Wells! Thank you to longtime partner, Comcast/NBCUniversal for this amazing opportunity to tell our story on BUILDing entrepreneurial leaders and changemakers.

 

Entrepreneurship can transform lives, spark innovation, and create lasting change.  BUILD’s innovative, hands-on programs equip students with critical skills like problem-solving, communication and collaboration so that they can become the CEO of their own lives. Learn about the how and why of our entrepreneurship education program, and hear Sybil highlight its powerful impact on generational wealth and economic mobility for our students.
