Go FAR: Youth Resilience & Leadership Program

When You're Starting from Behind, You Need a Framework to Go FAR

Said brings a unique combination of lived experience and academic credibility to this work. As a former refugee who became a PhD scientist and professor, he understands both the challenges youth, especially those with a less ideal start in life, may face and what it takes to advance despite the numerous roadblocks.

His story isn't just inspirational - it's instructional. Youth see themselves in his journey, because he was one of them. It helps them to better connect and learn the practical frameworks that helped him succeed.

Because your background doesn't define your future. Your response to it does.
