BUILD Greater Boston

BUILD is an exciting 4-year college prep program that uses entrepreneurship to motivate disengaged students to excel academically, graduate from high school, and attend college.

To help them become college-eligible, students also receive tutoring, test prep, mentoring, and advising for their school-work and college planning.
