A student-led financial literacy nonprofit
The moneyskills schoolsforget to teach.
Build-A-Biz is a student-run nonprofit teaching the next generation of entrepreneurs and investors to be financially independent. Free camps, workshops, and a full course, taught alongside real founders and credit union experts. From Naperville to Zambia.
Most schools neverteach the things thatactually run your life.
Budgeting. Credit. Investing. How to start a real business. We teach it the way it sticks, through hands-on camps, workshops, and community nights.
Three ways in.
