What is CEO Build?

CEO Build is a powerful opportunity for local executives and business leaders to trade their desks for hard hats – if only for a day. Leaders from across the Jacksonville Beaches community will come together on the build site to raise walls, strengthen connections, and show their shared commitment to affordable housing and a thriving local economy.

Why CEO Build?

In our community, 1 in 5 families must choose between paying for a safe home or essentials like groceries, healthcare, or transportation. CEO Build gives business leaders the chance to take action, helping create stability for a local family while setting an example of service and collaboration that inspires others.

How Does it Work?

    Build with other leaders

    Bring your team

    After the event, participating leaders can select a future date to return with their own team for a build day - continuing the impact, one company at a time.
