CHANGING LIVES, TRANSFORMING COMMUNITIES
Educate! unlocks the potential of African youth to solve their communities’ greatest problems of poverty, disease and environmental degradation.
Our model is exponential empowerment – investing long-term in a few so they can positively impact many others. Educate! provides a proven mix of a leadership course, long term mentoring, practical experience solving a community problem, and an alumni network for high school aged youth.
The curriculum is focused on the skills and experience students need to find solutions to problems in their communities. The teachers are mentors who build powerful relationships that give youth confidence to lead change. And the classroom is the community itself where the Educate! students start initiatives that solve the most pressing problems in their communities.
Today Educate! is empowering 830 high-school aged youth across Uganda, a country that has the youngest population in the world, and developing a model of education that can be applied throughout Africa.
