How It All Began
In 2014, Family Biz Builder was founded with a simple but powerful belief: every child deserves a bright future, no matter where they start. Seeing the struggles many families faced due to limited access to educational resources, career guidance, and mentorship, we knew something had to change.
What began as a small community outreach program has grown into a thriving organization offering life-changing services. From academic support and career development workshops to leadership training and family empowerment programs, FBB has helped hundreds of families overcome obstacles and reach their full potential.
Our journey has been one of hope, resilience, and partnership. Through the support of dedicated volunteers, mentors, and community leaders, we continue to expand our impact and create lasting change for generations to come.
