Our Impact

We unite and ignite.

Our impact isn’t measured by what we do for our students and global partners—it’s what they achieve for themselves, their communities, and our world. buildOn students and global communities have contributed millions of service hours and built thousands of schools, driving our movement to unite people through service and education to ignite a more equitable future.

Constructive Leadership

buildOn students learn to lead by first learning to serve. Constructive Leadership™ is our approach to building leaders by inspiring solidarity and unleashing courage, resilience, empathy, and a passion for the possible through service to others.

Whether engaging U.S. high school students, community members in economically developing countries, or corporate partners, we apply a service-first methodology that cultivates the qualities leaders need to create positive, systemic impact.
