Students Can Chat with Twitter Founder

Jack Dorsey is hosting an open video chat this afternoon.

 

Silicon Valley entrepreneur Jack Dorsey is hosting a video-mentoring session today to foster entrepreneurship among disengaged high school students, according to Marketwatch.

The Twitter founder is partnering with the national board of Redwood City-based BUILD, a four-year college prep program that uses entrepreneurship to excite and help disengaged, low-income youth graduate high school and head to college.

The video chat is scheduled for today at 4:30 p.m. and is open to anyone. Visit https://www.build.org/tokwithjack and click "Join the chat." Attendees will have the opportunity to ask Jack questions about BUILD and entrepreneurship.
