As a co-founder of LearnServe International (LSI), IFE’s commitment to leadership also extends to the next generation. IFE and LSI offer programs that promote youth global citizenship and intercultural understanding so that our young people are prepared to be global gamechangers. Students from public, charter, and independent schools in the greater Washington, DC area are encouraged to address critical global issues, while teachers receive guidance on integrating a greater international focus into their curricula.

“IFE understands the Information era in which we live-has changed culture globally. That one must prepare to be a citizen of humanity and not solely the citizen of a single nation.”
