BUILD Literacy Program

Berkeley United in Literacy Development (BUILD) is one of the largest reading programs in the East Bay, serving over 300 students throughout the year. Our summer mentors provide academic support to elementary school students in Berkeley and Oakland, with dates ranging from early July through mid-August. Some opportunities may be available in June for units and volunteer mentors. Mentors collaborate closely with site staff to provide academic mentoring to students through one-to-one and small group activities.
