When you’re driven by what you love, Saturdays aren’t sacrifices—they are fueled by enthusiasm and turning dreams into reality, one young leader at a time!
The 5th Cohort of the award-winning Future Leaders Internship Initiative (#FLII) graduated with the HIGHEST intern evaluation ratings in its five-year history!
What began with 25 interns five years ago has grown to over 200+ participants, and every intern to date has been accepted into an #HBCU, Ivy League, or traditional university—many with full scholarships.
These remarkable young leaders, many from humble beginnings, refused to let circumstances define them, achieving goals that inspire us all.
Delaware Department of State, Deputy Secretary of State, Kristopher Knight entrusted us with his vision to create intentional opportunities for minority students in STEM and government. Today, that vision is thriving beyond our imagination.
Relationships are our currency. Kris and I met in 2007, reconnected after a decade, and together leveraged our shared commitment to providing opportunities for students, starting with Howard University and firms like PwC
and KPMG US
Our strategic partner #LYTE began with 10 students and now supports a pipeline of over 700! Hearing students call this experience life-changing, rewarding, and unforgettable reaffirms why we do this work! Founder, Ankur Arya
The future is brighter because of these remarkable young diverse leaders!
