Building Better Together
We exist to help our youth succeed personally, professionally and academically in an effort to advance and enrich our communities.
Our Why
I am Jaylyn Boone, Founder of BuildWithBoone, where we believe every student is significant and has the ability to greatly impact the world.
Therefore, we make it our personal mission to present life changing information in an easily digestible way, so that students at every level can receive, retain and apply the principles and practices we share.
As a speaker, who has traveled the country observing and engaging with people of various backgrounds, I’ve come to learn that there are four key areas that often determine the trajectory of a person’s life. Regardless of race, religion, age, orientation, preference or position, there are four degrees of separation between a life of purpose and a life of painful regrets.
Upon this discovery, I began to create a program to help people identify, assess and adjust the areas in their lives that have kept them from better versions of themselves.
This program has transformed the way people see themselves, their goals, abilities and shortcomings, as well as how they see others. In doing so, it has not only created a higher level of confidence for the individual, but a higher level of empathy and inclusivity among the collective.
As a result, parents, leaders and administrators alike have come to see this program, not as a nicety, but as a necessity for both themselves and the students they care for. I believe that upon discovering the power of this program, you too, will speak of its importance for students across the world.

Dr. Mari Buche, Associate Dean, College of Business, Michigan Technological University
“One of the areas we always concern ourselves with is the attitude of the kids and confidence level - the simple message you were displaying was ‘your superpower, what is it? And how can I use that superpower to better the world and better myself? Not being afraid of your weaknesses.’ Those are the things that as a teacher you’re constantly trying to impose on the kids - it was a great message. We really appreciate it.”
Dan Pertele, 2nd Grade Teacher, Barkell Elementary
“Jaylyn Boone’s dynamic speaking style coupled with his ability to take complex ideas and simplify them for our students to digest is the reason why I have called him to work with not one, not two, but three of our student programs. When I want my students to embrace their superpower and overcome their weaknesses I know exactly who to call.”
