Business Team Coaches support high school students in the classroom as they create a business, pitch their ideas, work on prototyping of their product, and develop a marketing and sales plan. Teachers implement the BUILD curriculum in the classroom, and volunteers will support students as they develop their business projects.
This opportunity will take place during the spring semester, 2025 and will last from late January – May. Volunteers will work with students 1-2 times per month during school hours, with each classroom session lasting from 1-2 hours depending on the school.
