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. Our goal is to become the world's largest philanthropic organization creating sustainable programs in areas of need.
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.
