Learn from real practitioners:
Julia Vickery, Program Director at the Abell-Hanger Foundation in Texas, recently completed the CIIL program asynchronously. The experience helped her clarify her program’s goals and gave her the tools to connect philanthropy and youth development through service-learning.
“It would have taken me years to find all of that on my own. To have it all in one place was beautiful.” — Julia Vickery
