Entrepreneurship is the hook. College and career success is the goal.
About us
Founded in 1999, BUILD uses entrepreneurship-based, experiential learning to ignite the potential of youth in under-resourced communities and equip them for high school, college and career success. BUILD’s unique program offers students a four year entrepreneurship experience designed to reinforce the Common Core, develop 21st Century Skills and motivate student engagement in school. Starting in 9th grade, BUILD students work with their peers and community mentors to develop business ideas, pitch to funders and launch real businesses. As they journey through high school, BUILD provides students with support in navigating the college application process and the opportunity to explore college and career options, while expanding their businesses or opting into community internships. BUILD currently serves approximately 2,000 high school students at programs located in the San Francisco Bay Area; Washington, DC; Boston, MA, and New York City. BUILD is made up of a diverse, results driven and passionate team who believe in the potential of every student and the power of entrepreneurship-based, experiential learning to transform the education landscape. We work in a collaborative environment where perseverance, flexibility, cross-cultural understanding and an entrepreneurial spirit are encouraged and celebrated.

BUILD NYC's Why We Work series aims to explore the motivations, passions, and career journeys of individuals within our business coach community, and experience what a work day at their business looks like. For our inaugural session, NYC coach Aaron Wiggs took students from I AM High School in Canarsie, Brooklyn to his workplace, iconic streetwear brand SUPREME New York. The workshop included a private store tour, interactive design conversation and feedback session, followed by a debrief in Domino Park over one of NYC's best local franchises, Joe's Pizza. A perfect New York City day! Video by @KeithN'Dong. #BUILDNYC #WhyWeWork #CareerJourney

BUILD Boston hosted our second annual Pickleball Tournament and Fundraiser last Thursday on National Pickleball Day 🏓! Thanks to our amazing Associate Board and sponsors SVB, Workday, and CapitalOne, we gathered at Harpoon Brewery with over 100 attendees, including 6 BUILD Alumni, for a day of food, games, networking, and fun! Even a torrential downpour couldn’t dampen our spirits—pickleballers played on, and the party continued under the tent well into the night. Best of all, we raised over $35K! 🎉🎉🎉 Special thanks to PCG whose buzzer beater put us $10K above our $25K goal!#BUILDBoston #PickleballTournament #Fundraiser #BUILDorg Capital One Silicon Valley Bank Workday
