New Programs
Gap Year Porgram: In 2015, we will be piloting a restructured “gap year” program. In this program, there will still be an internship component, but it will be with organizations outside of Akili Dada. In addition, we will be increasing the level of college preparation and placement support for those interested in attending school in the U.S. During college preparation, gap year participants will also volunteer in social change projects in the Nairobi area.
