About Us​

​
​ "Gifted Scholars Leadership Program was launched in 2014 when I saw the tremendous needs that persist in my hometown of Philadelphia, particularly in the distressed public schools I once attended. The program is designed to empower young leaders and inspire positive change within our communities."​​
