The Boston University Initiative for Literacy Development (BUILD), in collaboration with selected schools and community programs, helps Boston elementary school students develop literacy skills.

Making an Impact in Children’s Lives

Boston University Work-Study students tutor children in preschool through fifth grade in classrooms, after school programs, and at one area hospital. Their contributions enhance and support the education of children in these target programs and communities.
