EP 246 The Power of Entrepreneurship in Under-Resourced Communities

How do you instill a sense of resilience in students that allows them to look at adversity as a challenge and failure as a learning opportunity?

You teach them entrepreneurship!

On Tuesday, November 29, 2022, we celebrated National Entrepreneurship Month and Giving Tuesday by amplifying one of my favorite nonprofit organizations: BUILD.

BUILD utilizes entrepreneurship education to help students develop ownership and agency over their own academic and career success, while addressing racial equity and career opportunity gaps by giving under-resourced youth the building blocks to fast track their future and become the CEOs of their own lives.

The BUILD partners and volunteers play a key role in helping their students launch micro-enterprises, succeed in high school, and build a network of supportive adults committed to opening doors for them in the future.

As many founders know, developing an entrepreneurial mindset helps students develop the capability to envision a future that’s filled with possibility. When kids graduate from BUILD’s programs, they have a plan and a vision for their future!

Please join me in supporting this impactful organization! You will love meeting BUILDS’s phenomenal President, Thais Rezende; a former student sharing his journey – Tony Shavers, III; and you’ll hear from educators, students, mentors and fundraisers, all adding their delicious wind to this wonderful organization.
