Organizational snapshot

buildOn Global: It believes that the best way to eradicate poverty is to ensure that all people have access to a quality education. That’s why buildOn partners with rural communities in 8 developing countries globally, empowering local residents to build schools, enroll out-of-school children, and educate adult learners. 

 

buildOn US: Through its Service Learning Programs, students in some of America’s most under-resourced high schools are empowered to take on the most pressing issues in their communities through direct action. By helping seniors, the unhoused, and younger kids, buildOn students learn to lead by first learning how to serve.
