Mission Statement

buildOn empowers people and transforms lives by partnering our after-school service programs in the U.S. with communities in developing countries to build schools.

Description

buildOn is a non-profit organization that empowers primarily urban U.S. high school students through in-class and intensive after-school programs. In addition to tremendous contributions of community service in their own cities and neighborhoods, buildOn youth help build schools in Haiti, Mali, Malawi, Nepal and Nicaragua, bringing literacy and education to children and adults. buildOn programs are designed to build confidence and real-world capabilities in American youth while also empowering communities world-wide to overcome the crippling cycle of illiteracy, poverty and low expectations by opening the door to education.
