Overview
Mission
Build up boys (bub) is a primary intervention that aims to prevent adverse childhood experiences (aces)and to create positive childhood experiences (pces)for boys. We equip young boys (prek-5th grade) with the necessary skills to retain their innate emotional intelligence and educate caretakers on why it's so important to let their boys feel and express their entire range of emotions.
What it reported doing in 2024
To provide a multi-stage enrichment program for young boys (grades pre-k through 8), to teach social, emotional, and relational skills that enable them to experience their full range of emotions, combat gender pressure and develop emotionally fulfilling relationships.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
