We recruit fresh graduates from different majors and train them through a six-week summer institute to be well prepared for the mission which is eliminating educational inequality in Lebanon while fostering youth leadership.

Our "Fellows" have impacted the lives of 4200 children at schools scattered all over Lebanon: Gebrayel, Bakhoun, Barsa, Maaroub, Arde, Ibrin, Kfarhazeer, douma, Saida, Ansar, Halba, Hasbaya, Rashaya, Abbasieh, Aley, Jounyeh and Sin El Fil.
