Join us for BUILD’s 6th Annual Entrepreneur Games on Thursday, October 24th!
Looking for a great volunteer opportunity that you will talk about all year long? Want to network with some of the hottest companies in Boston while showing your support for the next generation of entrepreneurs?
Join us at the BUILD Entrepreneur Games on Thursday, October 24, 2019 at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center.
The Entrepreneur Games brings more than 1,000 members of Boston’s tech, venture capital, and start-up companies together for an afternoon of fierce, but friendly competition and networking. Participants compete in more than 40 games, from team events like dodgeball, basketball, and tug-of-war, to individual events like corn hole, brainteasers, and ping pong. Food and drinks are included, with dozens of vendors providing something to satisfy everyone’s taste buds. The event raises over $250K for BUILD Boston, an organization dedicated to using entrepreneurship and experiential learning to ignite the potential of youth in under-resourced communities and equip them for high school, college and career success.

Mission Statement
BUILD’s mission is to use entrepreneurship to excite and propel disengaged, low-income students through high school to college success.
Description
Founded in 1999, BUILD’s mission is to use entrepreneurship to excite and propel disengaged, low-income students through high school to college success. We believe that the power of student ideas in action drives youth to reach their fullest potential in school and beyond. Our four-year high school program offers a unique blend of entrepreneurship, academics, and personal support that attracts and motivates many students who are otherwise at high risk of failing classes and dropping out of high school.
Our students develop their own business ideas, write business plans, pitch to funders, and launch real businesses. This real-world business experience makes school relevant and motivates them to succeed. To help them become college-eligible, students also receive individualized academic support and advising for their school-work and college planning.
BUILD currently serves over 1,000 high school students at programs located in East Palo Alto and Oakland, CA; Washington DC; and Boston, MA. For more information, see: www.build.org.
