Give Back: Coach High School Students from Under-Resourced Communities in Entrepreneurship
Weekly event from Wednesday, March 11th – Thursday, March 19th 
 
BUILD is a national non-profit that uses entrepreneurship to ignite the potential of youth from under-resourced communities and propel them to high school, college, and career success. BUILD serves nearly 2,000 high school students across the Bay Area, Los Angeles, Boston, Washington DC, and New York City.

We invite interested entrepreneurs and professionals to serve as business coaches supporting ninth grade BUILD students from East Oakland’s Golden State Prep Academy as they prepare for BUILD’s city-wide Business Plan Competition. At the competition, students will sell real original products, present their business pitches, and reflect on their learning and growth from their first year in BUILD. It is exciting and inspiring!

Location is Golden State Prep Academy 1009 66th Ave, Oakland, CA 9462. (An 11-minute walk from Coliseum BART station).
