Our Story
Our Founding
In 2020, a group of friends came together to help a classroom of special needs children. This mission evolved to include 8 classrooms. We've completed several missions since that day all to provide for at risk children.
Our Growth
Founded in 2020, Build the Children has grown to provide a positive impact on the lives of at-risk children and subsequently their families. As a support organization, we are dedicated to bridging the gap of disparity by assisting schools, therapeutic programs and other nonprofits committed to the plight of underserved children. We strive to provide more than basic sustenance because we believe that it is in the extraordinary that hope and motivation are found.
Our Mission
Build the Children is on an ambitious mission to overcome the disparities of underserved children everywhere!
