BUILD is a national non-profit organization committed to providing college access through youth entrepreneurship. BUILD Boston has programming at 7 Boston Public Schools and Randolph High. Mentors work with our students twice a month for 90 minutes to help them develop their own businesses. These mentors take on a critical role in empowering these students inside and outside the classroom. BUILD mentors work in teams with our students to help them navigate through ideation, prototyping, pitching to investors, and marketing to finally selling their products. Through the entrepreneurship journey, mentors provide the support of a positive adult role model and help our students develop skills they need to be successful professionals like communication, collaboration, innovation, and grit.
We are specifically seeking mentors at Dearborn STEM Academy for their spring semester BUILD class. You will have the opportunity to work with a seasoned BUILD teacher and a diverse group of students (9th graders) who have an interest in entrepreneurship.
