ISUS pioneers new enterprises and contributes enlightened perspectives to improve education and job training outcomes for dropout, court-involved and under-achieving youth. We create effective, often unique, practices that spark the resurgence of the inner city and support dropouts and juvenile offenders along a path to become transcenders ─ people who rise against all odds.
