What is iLEAP?
iLEAP: The Center for Critical Service is a 501c3, tax-exempt nonprofit organization with a mission to cultivate and inspire a new generation of global citizens who are motivated by a commitment to service and have the practical skills, rigorous critical thinking, and global community of support to create positive social and systemic change in the world. In the pursuit of this mission, iLEAP designs and delivers a variety of experiential educational programs that serve as the catalyst for this new generation, and, work to nurture meaningful collaborations between people, organizations, and community. All of our programs emphasize social enterprise, collaboration, conversation and dialogue, and rigorous engagement with ideas and theory. We develop these unique programs in close partnerships with colleges and universities, civil society groups, and for-profit businesses, and programs range in length from one day to nine months. Through our programs, we seek to inspire a worldwide community of interlinked global citizens and innovative organizations who are connected through their commitment and courage to take risks and engage life with a humble passion and abiding sense of humor as they work with, and in the service of others.
