This Alabama school wants to turn its students into future homeowners, and build careers in the process Buying a home is a quintessential adult accomplishment. For the students attending Build UP, a non-profit workforce development school in Alabama, the goal of owning a home could come much earlier than for most American grownups.

2020 has been tough on us at Build UP, with over $500K in lost revenues PRIOR to COVID-19 even emerging. However, we provided safe, socially-distant in-person education to our incredible students without interruption from Aug 24-Dec 11, for which we feel very fortunate.

Would you please consider supporting our critical work with a charitable contribution. If money is tight on your end, one additional option (for Alabama residents only) is to redirect your state income taxes to provide a child a tax-credit scholarship.
