Educate! works to directly address the most fundamental challenge facing Africa: the lack of socially responsible leadership across diverse sectors of society.Educate! created a model of education that unlocks the potential of the next generation to solve the greatest problems facing their communities. The curriculum is focused on the skills and experience students need to find solutions to poverty, violence, disease, and environmental degradation. 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 greatest challenges facing their communities. Today, Educate! is empowering 1,400 high-school aged youth at 24 partner high schools across Uganda, and developing a model of education that can be applied universally. Education Generation scholarships cover the cost of delivering this program to one student.
