Engage in transformative leadership and social entrepreneurship training in DC.
ABOUT
LearnServe
International
LearnServe brings together young people from diverse backgrounds with untapped leadership potential and a strong desire to create change. We help them develop a sense of agency and purpose through leadership and social entrepreneurship training. We guide them to design, pitch, and launch social ventures to create positive change in their schools and communities. Through this training, they strengthen their personal, academic, and professional wellbeing.
About DC Programs:
Our DC programs bring together high school students across public, charter, and independent schools across the DMV for a transformative, hands-on learning experience. On top of regular program sessions where students learn how to build a social venture from scratch, we offer opportunities to hear from local leaders and conduct site visits to other social impact organizations.
