Education, Stabilization, REVITALIZATION
Build UP is the nation’s first and only early-college workforce development high school to empower youth with the skills and agency to tackle poverty and urban blight. We provide low-income youth with career-ready skills through paid apprenticeships with industry-aligned secondary and postsecondary academic coursework, leading them to become educated, credentialed, and empowered civic leaders, professionals, and homeowners.

Students gain the necessary tools to lead successful lives, such as job-ready skills, financial literacy, leadership training, a high school diploma and an associate's degree.
|
|
Families earn access to own affordable, stable housing units they can take pride in and possibly even rent
to earn passive income while building equity and wealth. |
|
Stable careers and upward economic mobility empower students and their families to stay home in order to lead long-term community revitalization.

Statement on Racial Justice
Build UP exists because racism and systems of oppression exist. The "solutions" our country has found to correct problems created by this injustice often blame the victims and perpetuate the oppression.
This. Must. End.
Build UP will stand for justice, will call out the wrongs of our city, state, and nation, and we will prove the unlimited capacity for greatness that God endowed in ALL of OUR CHILDREN, the most precious, and too often neglected, asset of all communities.
