BUILD Moto Mentor is a volunteer-run, non-profit educational organization that pairs high school students with motorcycle-building mentors to learn technical and life skills. Students builders take on bike design, welding, fabrication, mechanical repair, and machining while student support teams are responsible for graphics, fundraising, social media, and more. Through each one-semester season, students develop strong teamwork and interpersonal skills. 

BUILD is made up of dedicated board members, mentors, faculty advisers, local businesses/ sponsors, volunteers, team students, and parents. 

Through a multi-year partnership, Royal Enfield donates Classic 500 motorcycles to BUILD teams each season, along with parts, support, and technical training mentors valued at more than $100,000.  Like BUILD, Royal Enfield North America (RENA) is headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Other major sponsors and supporters of BUILD include Badger Heritage Chapter of Antique Motorcycle Club of America, Brit Iron Racing LLC, Classic Milwaukee Racing Foundation, Cone Engineering, Fuel Cafe, Haul Bikes, Harley-Davidson University, Hy-Tec Powdercoating, Indian Motorcycle of Metro Milwaukee, Mama Tried Motorcycle Show and Flat Out Friday, MATC, Michael J Anderson Law Offices, Moto-Scoot, Power Barn, Regina Train, Spectro Performance Oils, Woller-Anger & Company. The largest fundraising event for BUILD is the Brewtown Rumble, an annual ride-in vintage motorcycle show in Milwaukee. 

BUILD was founded in 2011 by The Iron Hose Hotel and dedicated mentors and volunteers which recognized the opportunity to teach technical and life skills through the art and craft of motorcycle building.
