Mission

Through entrepreneurship-based, experiential learning, BUILD ignites the potential of youth from under-resourced communities and equips them for high school, college, and career success. By helping students develop and run their own small businesses, BUILD supplements traditional school with real-world business experiences and critical skill-building for the future. Entrepreneurship is the hook, but college is the goal. All of our business and academic activities foster student proficiency in 21st-Century skills that research has shown prepares students for success in college and beyond.
