About
As part of the AUA initiative, the School-2-School program advances goals related to education and mutual understanding at the grassroots level in the United States and in the Muslim World. Through S2S, lead teachers from an American school and at a partner school in the Muslim World design and implement a plan for their classrooms to engage with and learn from each other.
At the same time, the American school raises money to purchase vital educational supplies requested by their partner school. In addition, an educator from each American school travels to their partner school over the summer to volunteer for two to four weeks, serving with the school’s students or administration. The educator later serves as an ambassador at home, sharing the experience with his or her school and the wider local community.
