International Internship Program

Over the past 15 years, Leadership Initiatives has changed thousands of lives both in the United States and abroad. While we have the numbers to show these accomplishments, one of the biggest testaments to the success and impact of our work comes from the students who have been a part of it.

If you would ever like to speak to a student, parent, LI staff member, board member, or business partner to learn more about the program, we would love to set up a Skype or phone call for you. Please fill out the form at the bottom of this page or email admin@lichange.org and we will respond within 24 hours with available dates.

Business Partner Testimonials

What I really like about the students is that they want to help us with our fish farming business. Anna and Hunter have helped us maintain our fish, taught me new ways to reuse our water and helped us learn how to use dead fish for other purposes to grow our profits at market. We can now feed more members of our community and my family and staff could afford a better education and life.

I love the students, they care so much and really want me to succeed. Because of the students my business will have an advertising plan, a new rotating menu with new American deserts and dishes that will continue to add to my faithful customers. The new menu they created gives my business a professional feel that will allow me to compete in Birshi. I am so honored to call Leia and her team my family.

What I want to say the most is THANK YOU, especially to those who sent us designs, because they have seriously contributed to our business. The part I have enjoyed the most is when we sit at the computer and we can see each other, eventually we always make jokes and find laughter.

This program has made me a better leader, has taught me how I can transform the world and allowed me to transform lives. Marshall's letter of recommendation showcased all of that and has been able to show colleges not only who I am but who I hope to become. Beyond that, Marshall has called admissions offices on my behalf and worked at all hours to make my team become successful, to help the children we are working with in Bauchi and every step of the way helped me learn more about myself and who I can be someday."

Mr. Bailly's letter of recommendation was all I could ask for. Every step of the way he has encouraged me to reach for my dreams, he has called college admissions offices for me, set up personal meetings with individuals to make me a better student and worked with Leadership Initiatives partners to have my college essays and my scholarship applications professionally reviewed. I feel because of him I have become the best student and candidate I could be."

I almost cried after reading my letter of recommendation and Mr. Bailly's offer to call Georgetown University on my behalf. The recommendation letter I received from Mr. Bailly illustrated what our team accomplished during our time with LI and highlighted how I was building a better life for my business partner and myself. This letter was incredible and I believe it will help me get into the school of my dreams."

Student SAT/ACT Training Testimonials

I dreaded the SAT and always thought I was a “poor test taker”. Then I began working with TestRocker and realized that all I really needed was a plan and some practice. Leadership Initiatives helped me find the average SAT scores for my top University picks and TestRocker is training me to surpass those scores. I am now excited for June and to surpass my own expectations.

Working on her SAT scores while creating new dress designs for her tailoring business partner.

I felt lost before because personal tutoring was out of my price range and just using books meant that I worked by my own schedule and something would always come up. With TestRocker, I now have a weekly plan on how to improve my ACT scores, I know the areas that need the most work, so I am not wasting my time on other subjects and each day I feel better about earning that 31 score of my dreams.

Jack S.

IIP Student with a goal of improving his ACT score by 3+ points

Test Rocker has really helped me in identifying which skills I need to improve on in order to succeed on the ACT. The video explanations are immensely useful in augmenting my understanding on a certain subject, and the practice quizzes after most modules aids in keeping one accountable for what they know. Overall, I am very pleased with this product.
