BuildOn's Mission is to break the cycle of poverty, illiteracy, and low expectations through service and education.
With your support we are breaking the cycle every day through afterschool service programs in some of the nations toughest high schools and by building schools in some of the worlds poorest countries.
BUILDON AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS
buildOn’s youth service programs engage students in challenging urban areas and show them the limitless power they can achieve through community action. Our staff members run intensive afterschool service programs at 73 high schools in six US regions Chicago,Detroit,New York,Oakland/San Francisco,Philadelphia,and Southern Connecticut.
In each of these programs, youth contribute intensive local service – helping the homeless, seniors and children in their communities – to confront urban struggles with passion and optimism. Our students don’t want to escape their inner-city environments but lift them up, and elevate the expectations they have for their neighborhoods and themselves.
94% of our graduating seniors have gone on to college since the year 2000. buildOn Afterschool is actively inspiring leaders who believe that service will change the world.
