Our Strategic Focus Areas

Women’s Empowerment –
The L³ Alliance

 

…there is no tool for development more effective than the empowerment of women.
~ Kofi Annan

We Believe

The power to change the world lies in the hearts, minds, and hands of women.  Entrepreneurship and woman-based leadership in corporations are effective means of engendering that empowerment.

Literacy

 

There is no such thing as a child who hates to read; there are only children who have not found the right book.
~ Frank Serafini

What We Do

Through each of our literacy projects, we provide materials that expose youngsters to topics pertaining to STEAM and to travel abroad. We ensure that students can “see themselves” in the books they read so they can find confidence in and validation of their identities – so they can get a sense of who they are and who they can become.

Travel & Study Abroad

 

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.
~ Saint Augustine

What We Do

Through our Travel / Study Abroad SFA, we encourage university-level students in the U.S. to look openly and honestly at their homeland and their culture by experiencing different cultures and how those cultures view them. We also encourage younger students to embrace any chance they may have to broaden their horizons through travel.

… museum members who went to see the Paris exhibition in February … were so moved by the experience that they committed their time and funds to begin a community-driven effort to bring the Paris works of one of America’s great artists home to his birthplace – Knoxville, Tennessee.

~ Sylvia L. Peters, former trustee of the Knoxville Museum of Art

Study Abroad

I saw firsthand what can be accomplished when a passion comes together with dedication, collaboration, and the application of skills that an individual is uniquely gifted in. I hope to continue to seize opportunities like this in the future, and to carry on the inspiration that I’ve received.

~ Abbigail Chaput, University of Arizona

STEAM Education

This was a phenomenal opportunity to go to Fulbright and UNESCO, to visit an artist colony, to have all the different perspectives of the arts here in Paris … it’s going to be truly powerful for us all working together to incorporate STEAM into all aspects of life

~ Malikka Karteron, Global Educator Program participant
