INDEPENDENT INSTITUTE is a non-profit, non-partisan, public-policy research and educational organization that shapes ideas into profound and lasting impact. Applying independent thinking to issues that matter, we create transformational ideas for today’s most pressing social and economic challenges. The results of this work are published as books, our quarterly journal, The Independent Review, and other publications and form the basis for numerous conference and media programs. By connecting these ideas with organizations and networks, we seek to inspire action that can unleash an era of unparalleled human flourishing at home and around the globe.
The target BUILD student easily understands and admires entrepreneurship and financial success. The four-year BUILD curriculum uses entrepreneurship education as the motivator to get these students interested in applying to and attending a four-year college. Drop-out rates in under-served communities can be as high as 70%. Many students believe that what they are taught is not relevant to them, and many teachers lack the interest or skills to make the curriculum relevant. Furthermore, teachers often expect these students to fail and/or drop out, and do not expect them to strive to gain access to college. Teachers’ low expectations lead to students’ low expectations of themselves. Low-income students’ lack of access to higher education is a critical issue of our time. The speed of change and the breadth of issues facing our country (and the world) demand strongly diverse viewpoints to create solutions. As higher education becomes out of reach for more and more students, our talent pool and perspective on critical issues becomes homogenized and increasingly narrow. Enabling students from underserved communities to access college, and to bring strong entrepreneurial skills – innovation, creative thinking, financial management – ensures that we can address critical issues in the future. Since BUILD founding in 1999, 100% of BUILD’s seniors have graduated from high school and been accepted into college. BUILD is a nonprofit organization headquartered in the Bay Area of California with programs in East Palo Alto, Oakland, Washington DC and Boston.
