Media Connections

BUILD’s goal is to save lives in Chicago’s most challenged neighborhoods by helping young people build hope, strength, and a path to a positive future. We are an integrated team of teams, more than 100 staff working together to ensure each young person gets the combination of support, protection, and inspiration they need.
