buildOn students across the country are showing up for their communities—preparing meals, cleaning up neighborhoods, and advocating for change. Many joined buildOn for personal reasons. They stayed for the movement. Now, they’re preparing for their next step: traveling abroad to help build a school through Trek. For many, it will be their first time on a plane, their first time leaving the country, and a life-changing opportunity to connect across cultures and build alongside a rural community. This May, we’re raising funds to help make that journey possible for students who are ready to lead with compassion and return home with a deeper sense of purpose. Your support can help send the next generation of Groundbreakers on the journey of a lifetime—and bring those lessons home. Together, we’re building more than schools. We’re building a better world. https://ow.ly/2sMk50VWLgP #Groundbreakers #Trek101 #buildOn (fb)

We’re proud to share that buildOn Detroit has received a $50,000 grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to support our youth service and leadership programming. The Kellogg Foundation’s commitment to equity, education, and opportunity deeply aligns with our mission to empower students from underserved communities to lead through service—both locally in Detroit and globally through school building with partner communities. This generous support will directly fuel our work in Detroit Public Schools, where buildOn students are making real impact through service projects focused on food justice, mentorship, and community care. Thank you to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for believing in the power of young people and helping us create lasting change! (fb)
