BUILD is an amazing organization that really makes a difference in the lives of under-resourced high school students in the Bay Area and Washington, DC. The students are so impressive--they complete 30-page business proposals and actually run their own businesses, even presenting their plans to venture capitalists to get seed funding--and 100% of them get into college. BUILD has a number of volunteer opportunities that are all very rewarding and impactful, including serving as a business mentor or judge in the Business Plan Competitions. I volunteered as an academic tutor for 2 years and I just started volunteering full-time with the organization as a fundraiser. I was so impressed with the students, staff, and volunteers when I tutored and I am so glad to be able to support the organization now by helping write grants and cultivate donors. I would recommend BUILD to anyone who wants to volunteer and make a difference.
