BUILD is changing the face of higher education by empowering and supporting high school students from underserved communities. The four-year BUILD curriculum uses entrepreneurship education as the motivator to get students interested in applying to and attending four-year colleges and universities.  Their four-year entrepreneurship-focused college preparation program provides real-world experience that empowers youth from under-resourced communities to excel in education, lead in their communities, and succeed professionally. 
 
Because their mission is to re-engage students who are underperforming in the education system, they are conscious NOT to skim the most motivated and high-achieving students from low-performing schools, but instead actively seek students who, but for BUILD, might not finish high school and would not consider college as an option.  To date, 100% of BUILD's seniors have been accepted into college.
 
Since its inception in 1999, BUILD has served over 700 students and worked with over 350 mentors and volunteers.  In 2008-2009, they will serve nearly 600 students in 13 partner public high schools in three metropolitan areas across the United States.  By 2010-2011, they expect to serve nearly 1,000 students and 25 partner public high schools in four metropolitan areas with a budget of over $6M.  BUILD is currently hiring for a Managing Director and a Director of Individual Giving. 

One of the nation's leading providers of mental and behavioral health services for children and their families, Youth Villages serves over 12,000 young people each year.  With locations across 10 different states, this entrepreneurial and rapidly growing nonprofit organization provides an array of services that include home-based intensive family therapy, transitional living, residential treatment, foster care, adoption, and crisis services.
