Rising Aspirations and Accelerating Ability
Raising Aspirations and Accelerating Ability: The aim of this Social Action Project is to provide the facilities, support and experience to increase the number of individuals from under-privileged and working class backgrounds into the most competitive and highest paying professional careers. We are working towards creating a program that would accommodate 15 students between the ages of 14-15 years old who are already performing well academically. Our goal is to equip them further with specialist knowledge, skills and networks that they can carry through their own personal development into adulthood and lives. The programme is non-biased against all gender, race, religious backgrounds or sexuality.
