Approximately 20,000 Bay Area high school students, roughly one in four, drop out of high school each year, collectively costing society an estimated $5.84 billion over the course of their lifetime. BUILD actively works to increase high school graduation rates for at-risk youth with a four year entrepreneurial program. Students develop and run a business, gain confidence, academic support, and mentorship. Over five years, BUILD will scale 300% to reach 3,000 Bay Area students, producing 1,125 additional graduates each year ready for college and the working world.
