BUILD, founded in 1999, is an innovative college preparatory program,
whose mission is to use entrepreneurship to excite and propel disengaged,
low-income high school students to college and career success. In BUILD,
students develop their own business ideas, write business plans, pitch to
investors, and launch real businesses. This real-world business experience
makes school relevant and motivates disengaged youth to succeed. To help
them become college-eligible, students also receive tutoring, test prep,
mentoring, and advising for their schoolwork and college planning. At
BUILD, entrepreneurship is the hook—but college is the goal. Over the past
13 years, 95 percent of BUILD seniors have been accepted to college, with
more than 80 percent accepted to four-year colleges and universities. For
