Escape the Shape

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to empower the next generation of global leaders by closing opportunity gaps through mentorship, cultural exchange, experiential learning, service initiatives, and transformative travel experiences.

In June 2025, Escape the Shape is embarking on an exciting cultural exchange program with the International School of Dakar (ISD) in Senegal. This transformative experience will involve seven scholars and returning alumni mentors, offering a unique opportunity for personal growth and global networking. 

Key aspects of the program will include:

• Presentations on their school and the program
• Discussions on the power of travel
• Networking with international peers
• First-time visit to West Africa

The International School of Dakar provides an ideal setting for this exchange:

• ISD boasts a diverse community with students from over 115 countries
• ISD's commitment to global citizenship aligns with our program's goals
