Expanding Our Impact to Puerto Rico

In 2026, BYL is launching in Puerto Rico with backpack giveaways and after-school programming for local students and families. We are partnering with schools and community leaders across the island to deliver supplies, mentorship, and enrichment to the first cohort.

Building on that foundation, the inaugural Leaders Beyond Borders Puerto Rico summer camp launches in Summer 2027, a three-week international summer program for scholars ages 10 and up.
