The mission of the IPSL Global Institute at NUNM is to engage students, educators, and grassroots organizations around the world in ethical volunteer service to promote equitable relationships, social justice, sustainable change, and a commitment to our shared humanity. There is a clear and pressing need to engage with our world in an ACTIVE way. The world needs young leaders to fight for social justice and equal rights. IPSL's graduate programs are the only study abroad programs working to create sustainable change through advocacy!  The IPSL Global Institute at NUNM programs teach you the practical skills to be an active agent of change and social justice. You will study the many international efforts that have effected social change historically, learn from these efforts and use them to develop a personal ethic of service, advocacy and civic engagement. IPSL will teach you the skills of community organizing and will empower you to create sustainable change in your own communities.
