All	of	the	Proceeds	of	This	Book	Will	Be
Donated	to	BUILD-Boston

  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
  more	information,	visit:	www.build.org.
