BUILD envisions a world where all students—regardless of race, socioeconomic status, or neighborhood— develop the skills and connections needed to achieve economic power and freedom. Through our 3-year entrepreneurship-based, experiential learning program, BUILD ignites the power of youth in under-resourced communities to build Career success, Entrepreneurial mindsets, and Opportunity, preparing students to become the CEO of their own lives.

BUILD currently serves over 2,000 high school students annually located in our Regional Hubs in the San Francisco Bay Area, Washington DC, New York City, Boston, Los Angeles, and Pittsburgh. Using our dynamic open-source intro offerings we’ve trained and equipped thousands of educators who engage tens of thousands of students in more than 100 cities. Over the next three years, we aim to reach hundreds of thousands more, building a vibrant coalition of entrepreneurial educators, students, alumni, strategic partners, and volunteers, dedicated to ensuring entrepreneurship education–and the opportunities it brings–is accessible to youth in every under-resourced community in the nation.
