This is just some of the praise about ISDN's On Track Program, a leadership and educational empowerment program designed for students of color in fifth through eighth grades. Given the many subtle and overt negative messages surrounding children of color, our goal is to increase self-advocacy and social awareness, thereby enhancing leadership skills, self-advocacy and scholastic achievement.
