Opportunities

Mentor

As a BUILD Mentor, you will meet one afternoon or evening a week for 2 hours to help 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, BUILD students also receive tutoring, test prep, and advising for their school-work and college application process.

How you help

BUILD offers the best volunteer opportunities in Boston for business professionals looking to work with young people and perform meaningful community service. Our mentors and volunteers help high school students in Boston launch real businesses and excel in high school, college, and beyond.
About us

How do you provide underserved young people with the resources they need to succeed? At BUILD, we do it by helping our students to start their own small businesses. As they reap the rewards – from keeping the profits to gaining self-confidence – they know there is a connection between hard work and creating a stronger community. They are excited to go to college. The BUILD Program is not vocational education. Rather, it’s an in-school elective in 9th through 12th grade, taught by BUILD mentors and on-site teachers at partner public high schools.
