buildOn

I learned about buildOn through a friend and decided to take a chance and try it out. That was the best decision I have made so far in my senior year of high school! Sometimes you are trying to figure out how you belong or what change you have made. Being a part of buildOn is filling my cup and allowing me to serve and help others in need. —Jaiden, Student at AMS in The Bronx ??

10 Ways to Celebrate Women’s History Month March is Women’s History Month, and March 8th is International Women’s Day! It’s a time to honor the achievements, resilience, and contributions of women worldwide. At buildOn, we’re so proud of the incredible women who make up our movement, and the hard work they do to unite people and ignite a more equitable future.

Amplify Women’s Voices Share stories, achievements, and perspectives of women—especially those from underrepresented communities—on social media or in conversations. Spread awareness of women’s issues. 7. Organize a Book Club Focused on Female Authors Dive into books written by women and discuss their impact. Highlight authors who inspire change and resilience. 6. Volunteer at Women’s Shelter Organizations Women’s shelters always need volunteers—and buildOn students are often among them!
