After an extensive career in sales, Craig Eckstrom has been offered a position on the board of directors for international nonprofit buildOn. Craig Eckstrom has long believed that it is important to give back to the community, and helping to pave the way for the success of the next generation is an excellent way to do that. As an executive board member, Craig Eckstrom will have the opportunity to help shape policies and establish good practices that will keep buildOn in good standing for many years to come.

buildOn's primary mission is to provide after school programs to children in at-risk areas around the united states, as well as providing similar programs to children and educational opportunities to adults abroad. When asked about his motivation for accepting a position on buildOn's board of directors, Craig Eckstrom was enthusiastic about the opportunity: “I am thrilled to have this opportunity,” Craig Eckstrom explained, “I believe that the best thing that we can do for tomorrow's generations is to help break the cycle of poverty and illiteracy that plagues many communities around the nation and the world.”

Craig Eckstrom's sentiments regarding buildOn echo the mission of the nonprofit, whose goal is to impact communities with crime problems as well as communities with high poverty rates. buildOn’s after school programs are centered around getting young people involved in the community through civil service, teaching them to take a greater interest in the wellbeing of the community at large. For Craig Eckstrom and the rest of buildOn's team, teaching young people to love their community could help turn the tide and pave the way for an improved quality of life. Outside of the United States, Craig Eckstrom and buildOn will focus on building schools and providing supplies in impoverished areas, again hoping that increased education will help improve the lives of people there.

Craig Eckstrom's involvement will help buildOn create viable business strategies, and his sales experience will help buildOn decide which programs are worth pursuing, as well as which ones should be abandoned as their influence within the community grows. Craig Eckstrom knows that the benefits that his decisions could have are extremely large, and takes his responsibilities within the nonprofit very seriously.
