International Faculty
One of the things that sets iLEAP apart from other international and
formal education programs is our international faculty members.
Emerging from a world wide network of rural leaders (over 300 of whom
have been directly trained by iLEAP staff and board members), these
faculty members typically are people who have spent years working and
serving in their respective communities. They are people who have
committed their lives to working directly with socio-economically
marginalized groups in some of the most geographically remote areas in
Asia, Africa and the Caribbean. Some possess advanced degrees and have
years of formal education, yet what is of highest value is their years
of experience working for change at the grass-roots.
