Mission
buildOn empowers primarily urban U.S. high school students through in-class and intensive after-school programs. In addition to tremendous contributions of community service in their own cities and neighborhoods, buildOn youth actually build schools and bring literacy to children and adults in developing countries around the world. buildOn programs are designed to build confidence and real-world capabilities in American youth while also empowering communities world-wide to overcome the crippling cycle of illiteracy, poverty and low expectations by opening the door to education. Since 1992, U.S. student volunteers have helped build more than 310 schools in rural regions of developing nations. More than 133,000 children and adults have attended those schools, with 51,100 currently enrolled.
