Mission Statement
Build and Rebuild Inc, under the visionary leadership of Dr. William Polite Jr., is dedicated to transforming urban communities by empowering individuals through education. Our mission is to increase high school graduation rates and dismantle the insidious pipelines that lead individuals from our communities into the prison system. We strive to cultivate an environment where every individual has the opportunity to thrive academically, socially, and spiritually.
School Halls Not Prison Walls
- School Halls Not Prison Walls Inc initiative is designed to address the critical issue of juvenile incarceration and its correlation with dropping out of school.
- By providing Protect Your Mind workshops, mentoring, education, employment opportunities, life skills training, and support to at-risk youth and their families.
- Our goal is to reduce recidivism rates and increase positive life outcomes such as graduation rates, post-secondary enrollment, employment, and successful reintegration into society.
Reducing Foster Care
Care for Every Family is a collaboration of more than a dozen local organizations committed to equipping faith communities to support families and reduce foster care.
Inspired by successful examples in communities like Possum Trot, Texas, we’re eager to demonstrate that city-wide transformation is within reach when churches mobilize toward a common goal.
Healthy communities foster nurturing circles of care around children with churches filling an essential role in empowering families through resources, relationships, and restoration.
By caring for every family – biological, kin, foster, or adoptive – local communities can reduce the number of children entering the foster care system, lower the number of placements for each child in state custody, and shrink the list of children waiting to be adopted.
What We Do
Build and Rebuild Educational Ministries is a beacon of hope in urban areas, particularly those plagued by socio-economic challenges and systemic inequalities. Led by the dynamic and impassioned Dr. William Polite Jr., our ministry operates on the belief that education is not just a pathway to personal success, but a fundamental right that can uplift entire communities.
“They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.”
–Isaiah 61:4
