Scholar Activists for Impact and Learning for Change (SAIL for Change) – formerly Khaddit Beirut – is a cluster under the Provost’s Office at the American University of Beirut made up of a group of scholars who want to use their scholarship and expertise to serve communities.
This network of scholar activists partners with academics, researchers, experts, students, and national and international organizations that aim to cause positive change. Team members work on a volunteer basis and focus on the following community-based initiatives: health, education, business, environmental health, and gaming to amplify the voices of young people in the region.
SAIL for Change works with – and for – communities on projects to co-create sustainable solutions driven by local needs and social justice. These projects are intended to be models to help in policymaking and reforms that ensure that greater impact is felt in local communities. The roadmap is clear. Every project is documented through community testimonials, expert videos, storylines, and reports.
