EMPOWER. ENGAGE. EDUCATE.

We are a P.O.W.E.R. Building Organization

Prosperity. Opportunity. Wellness. Empowerment. Resilience.

Build 2 Lead creates P.O.W.E.R. by collaborating with schools, businesses, health organizations, and governments to provide educational opportunities, community outreach, and power building initiatives to counter systemic and structural racism. 

WHAT WE DO

Build 2 Lead offers advocacy and leadership programming for youth, families, educators, and communities through B2L Direct and B2L Legacy.

ABOUT B2L

We work to empower, engage, and educate communities so they can interact with and advocate to change the systems that historically limit them.

BUILD 2 LEAD
DIRECT

We work in schools and youth spaces directly with students and educators, teaching emotional learning, advocacy, active listening and facilitation skills, and healthy coping strategies.

BUILD 2 LEAD
LEGACY

Collaborating with communities, corporate partners, and schools, we develop opportunities that focus on systems impacting BIPOC communities. Opportunities include career fairs, workshops, conferences, and training programs

BUILD 2 LEAD
P.O.W.E.R COUNCIL

By forming partnerships and connecting communities, the P.O.W.E.R. Council works to find solutions for better community health, more economic opportunities, and stronger community connections.

WE EMPOWER COMMUNITIES TO
CHANGE THE SYSTEM

Students. Families. Communities. Systems.

We deliver youth learning modules and workshops to make visible more options for youth to consider, from attending college to being entrepreneurs and business owners. We provide a consistent bridge between the classroom and the families and communities that students return home to. We deliver community programs rooted in equitable leadership and advocacy. These are the building blocks for system-wide change.
