-                We were founded on the philosophy that UMass students possess
-                valuable skills that can greatly benefit the community. By
-                establishing professional relationships between the community
-                and students, organizations in the community will benefit from
-                the latest technologies while providing students extensive
-                real-world experience.

They wanted to make a difference. They wanted to BUILD. And so, BUILD UMass was born. Since its inception, BUILD has made a positive impact on dozens of non-profits, charities, and student groups, while helping hundreds of students gain real-world experience in software development, product management, and consulting. We are proud of our accomplishments, but we are always looking to do more. If you are an organization that could benefit from the services we provide we would love to hear from you. If you are a student looking to gain real-world experience, we would love for you to be a part of the next chapter of this story.
