About Brothers United In Leadership Development Build (Build 206)

Brothers United In Leadership Development (BUILD) is a grassroots organization with the vision that Black men are empowered leaders and mentors who make positive changes in our community by instilling pride, hope, and perseverance in Black men. We focus on civic engagement, leadership development, mentoring, and community partnerships throughout the greater Seattle area. Since 2013, BUILD has developed a strong core group of Black male leaders who are deeply connected to our community and focus on grassroots organizing. We came together to address concerns in the Black community, including but not limited to the murders of Black men, a limited number of Black role models/mentors for our young people, and the need to build our community (especially due to gentrification).
