This Cause Connector project supports experiential learning and leadership development for Appalachian Ohio youth.

The iBELIEVE Foundation’s mission is to provide free, experiential learning opportunities for Appalachian Ohio youth to learn and develop the skills, behaviors, and attitudes necessary for success in high school and beyond. Through the 2021 Leadership Summit, iBELIEVE aims to inspire high school students to lead positive change in our schools, communities, region, and world. The Leadership Summit’s curriculum is designed to foster personal and communal success.

The iBELIEVE Foundation has committed itself to working with Appalachian Ohio high school students to develop the 21st century skills necessary for success. Alumni of the iBELIEVE program have gone on to develop deep investment in their home communities and a legacy of giving back that will form the next generation of local leaders in our Appalachian Ohio communities. The iBELIEVE Foundation is a long-time partner of FAO and we look forward to seeing how the organization continues its work.
