At the heart of The BUILD Fellowship lies an intricate understanding that parents play an outsized role in the long-term outcomes of their children. Because parents vary in their priorities, desires, needs, and experiences as related to education, there is often a gap in access to the fundamental understanding of how to maneuver within complex systems, structures, and networks. 

Fellows in this cohort-based program will explore broad themes around legislation, power, influence and direct action; collectively they will design and deploy a remedy to a key challenge faced in their neighborhood school.
