empowermefirst.college - who we are

We make higher education accessible - against all odds!

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Nelson Mandela

 

 We are passionate about people, that’s why we’re passionate about education.

We educate to understand, we educate to innovate, we educate to improve society, to fight climate change and inequality, to tackle challenges with waste management and health issues, we educate because we’re passionate about people.

empowermefirst.college is registered in Switzerland as “Gönnerverein von empowermefirst.college” (Commercial registration number: CHE-333.933.822)
To be able to reach as many beneficiaries as possible even without funding, we have become a global movement of likeminded people who volunteer as instructional designers, coaches and in partnerships. 

We offer our education to self-funded organisations who already are working in the countries and have a track record of success with youth, community works or in education.

– Modern, high quality online learning content at upper secondary (following IGCSE/A-levels and IB standard/higher)
– A learning methodology that focuses on knowledge application and coaching
– Clear guidance on reporting and controlling
– Author (instructional design) training course for our volunteers and partners 
– Coaching training and mentoring for the staff of our partners

What we expect:
– Fully funded organisation with infrastructure, internet, ideally computers
– Highly motivated staff who agree coach students (bi-weekly) and grade their assignments (within 10 days)
– Agreeing to follow our curriculum and reporting structure
