About the Organization: Founded in 1999, BUILD’s mission is to use entrepreneurship to excite and propel disengaged, low-income students through high school to college and career success. We believe that the power of student ideas in action drives youth to reach their fullest potential in school and beyond. BUILDNYC currently serves over 300 high school students spanning The Bronx, Manhattan and Brooklyn. Our four-year high school program offers a unique blend of entrepreneurship, academics, and personal support that attracts and motivates many students to pursue post-secondary opportunities and explore various career pathways. Our students develop their own business ideas, write business plans, pitch to funders, and launch real businesses. This real-world business experience makes school relevant and motivates them to succeed. To help them become college ready, students learn about various options of post-secondary education and creating a plan to enroll and attend college that best fit their needs. To help students become career ready, students develop and polish career skills such as resume writing, interviewing skills and techniques, networking, job shadowing, all in preparation to land a summer internship.
