East Harlem Tutorial Program

This year’s Build Love celebration focused on our vital goal of improving literacy and academic excellence for our scholars. Under the leadership of CEO Marina Cofield, we gathered to honor the brilliance of our community, highlighted by Junot Díaz receiving the James Baldwin Award.
We are so deeply grateful to everyone who participated and made the night a success. Because you believe in our students, we raised $1.8 million to fuel our mission! 💰
Thank you for leaning in and choosing to Build Love. If you haven’t joined us yet, it’s not too late to support our East Harlem scholars through the link in our bio. ❤️

🇬🇷✨ Guided by our belief to “Begin with the end in Mind,” our Class of 2026 seniors’ trip to Greece extended their learning beyond the classroom. Through immersive experiences, scholars explored the roots of history, culture, and critical thought, connecting what they’ve learned to a broader global context while creating lasting friendships and building lifelong bonds. As they approach graduation, opportunities like this help shape them into informed, thoughtful leaders ready to make an impact.
