Local Students Can Chat with Twitter Founder Today

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 chat with Jack is a way for the students to be inspired and learn from one of our country's highest profile and most accomplished entrepreneurs," BUILD founder and CEO Suzanne McKechnie Klahr told MarketWatch.
