Growing Hope: Prevention

At BUILD, we grow hope and engagement with a wide array of school- and community-based programs that build the habits of success, spark interests, uncover talents, give kids a sense of accomplishment and empower them with the tools to resist risky behavior and make positive choices.

Academic assistance, life-skills workshops, social/recreational activities, mentoring opportunities and service learning projects ensure that youth have the chance to lead safe, productive lives in order to become the next generation of leaders in our communities.
