Building Lions

What we do

Three things, done well

Our first group is small on purpose, so every student gets real attention.

Mentorship

Each student is matched with someone already working in a field they want to explore.

Industry exposure

Guest speakers and conversations that show what a career looks like day to day.

Professional skills

Resumes, interviews, email, and networking, practiced in workshops, not just explained.

Every amount is tied to a real cost. Anything beyond a level's cost goes toward the next student's supplies.

Why I started this

Nobody told me how to get into the career I wanted.

When I was [your age or stage], I didn't know which skills mattered or who to ask. [One honest sentence about your real experience.]

Many students face the same gap. They're capable, but no one shows them the way in. That's why I started Building Lions: students learn real professional skills and meet people already working in the industries they're curious about.

I'm starting small, and I'll be open about every step. Whether it's $25 or $100, your support helps cover [workshop space, materials, guest speaker time]. Sharing this page means just as much.
