fellowship

Our signature program is the Global Experiential Leadership Fellowship, a 12-day experiential leadership fellowship abroad to countries in sub-Saharan Africa or Southeast Asia. A select group of 10-12 high performing BIPOC students (ages 15-18) from underserved communities in South Florida undergo intensive intercultural competence training, in-country masterclasses, Impact Days, cultural immersion and leadership labs.

Our Fellowship is designed to:

1. Equip Fellows with the tools, skills and practical experiences to positively impact their individual communities and the world beyond,

2. Develop intentional practices to lead with purpose, empathy and excellence of character,

3. Instill a globally inclusive mindset and an understanding of social change; and

4. Provide life-long mentorship and increased social capital.

access

In 2020, we expanded our college access strategy coaching to develop Access Online - a web-based, mobile responsive, self-paced coaching platform that uses a suite of 9+ courses, 80+ video lessons, and 40+ tools/resources to empower underserved high school students to develop a successful college admissions strategy through a combination of experiential learning and a guided practice.

Starting in 2022, we are also training Youth Service Providers on how to use the Access Method and its related curriculum as the foundational tool for their own college access coaching.
