The Builders Institute is a place where we raise and grow the heroes of our generation who will share their time, talents and expertise to raise the quality of life for the poorest communities in the world. As GK's think tank in the Philippines, we seek to fill the gap between the classroom and the community, bridge theories and its application on the ground, and help train heroes for God and country.

The GK Builders Institute engages select GK school partners to establish and maintain Centers for Nation Building. The goal is to ensure that the GK Way is integrated in the academic and non-academic program of the school for its students, faculty, administration, staff, and alumni. |
If you want to contribute to GK knowledge and system, come and join us! You can participate in the GK Global Research and Internship Program which works closely with higher education institutions to mobilize university and graduate students in making a difference for GK communities through research and internship.
