iACT Information

Based in Los Angeles, iACT partners with people affected by conflict to co-create community-led early childhood education and soccer programs. Our vision is a world where the dignity, humanity, and rights of conflict-affected people are recognized, affirmed, and supported. Through innovative, human-centered program design, iACT adapts our programs and frameworks based on the needs expressed by the community we work in partnership with. Our iterative learning and implementation model includes: listening, program co-creation, connecting deeply with the community, and providing ongoing support as community members lead. iACT’s long term goal is to increase the opportunities for people affected by genocide and mass atrocities to use their agency, voice, and capacity to create, manage, and expand programs that meet the immediate and long term needs of their community. We work to ensure displaced children and youth are able to exercise their rights to education and healthy development, while providing employment, leadership, and professional development opportunities for parents and caregivers.
