Institute for Social Advancement (ISA) is a soon-to-be 501c3/ non-governmental organization which aims to bring together bright minds to solve the world's most unique problems.
ISA will implement a pilot program in Lesotho, Southern Africa. Our goal is to develop a sustainable program infusing academics, leadership, and dance to empower students to learn, live, and lead. For this project, we are looking to gather a group of core members from NYC to help develop the foundation and curricula for the program. The launch date for the program is April 2013 so we have a very strict deadline to meet.
Our finternational program is focused on providing an alternative educational program to the youths of Lesotho, Africa where they will be immersed in an innovative curriculum meshing academic rigor, leadership training, and the arts. We hope that through this program, we will be able to instill in our student participants the skills and confidence to go back into their communities and lead lives dedicated to helping communities thrive
