R.I.I.S.E-Haiti is led by students!

We are learning to lead from a shared vision of equality, one that strives to make leadership and power more accessible and accountable and relies less on positional authority and more on moral authority, or leadership from a “place of heart." We have been influenced by generations of Haitian educators and the work of groups like Partners in Health. This leadership structure illustrates the team that works in the U.S.A. We work under the guidance of Shields Sundberg, an educator in Washington D.C. with deep roots in Haiti. We hope, soon, to have a parallel page illustrating our partners in Haiti, who work under the guidance of Dr. Thony Voltaire and a team of educators.
