their communities. Therefore, we ground our

trajectory of the students we serve through a rigorous and extensive training
program which begins with a six weeks Training Institute.

through a combination of in-person training sessions, leadership forums, as well
as online training courses and resources. Additionally, we will build
partnerships with key public and private sector entities in order to develop
pathways to accelerate alumni leadership in critical areas.
After the two-year program and as an Alumni, you will be
supported to use these skills and knowledge to advocate for and lead
educational reform in whichever path you choose.
