YOU CAN HELP
students build successful lives by getting involved

BUILD NYC is an entrepreneurship program for high school students. It’s like “Shark Tank” for teens. We teach students how to develop a new product they invent, build a business and become the CEO of their own lives. Our ultimate goal is to promote social equity and create a more diverse workforce for the future.
