BUILD.org

Organization Description

BUILD.org is a national education nonprofit that began in the Bay Area twenty-five years ago. During this time, BUILD has been igniting the power of youth in under-resourced communities to build Career Success, Entrepreneurial Mindsets, and Opportunity. We help students become the CEO of their own lives! In the past year, BUILD has served 2,900 students from Oakland to NYC in our Core Program. BUILD partners with under-resourced schools to teach high school students how to launch their own business, develop an entrepreneurial mindset, and expand their social capital. BUILD has a dynamic volunteer opportunity in which Business Team Coaches support high school students during the school year, from September to May/June. Coaches are placed in one of our partner schools in Oakland or Redwood City.
