Haitian Education & Leadership Program (HELP) is a nonprofit organization based in New York that focuses on expanding access to higher education and developing leadership among Haiti’s youth. It addresses longstanding challenges in Haiti—violence, natural disasters, and weak governance—by providing education, leadership training, and related resources aimed at cultivating a new generation of leaders. Given that only a small fraction of college-aged Haitians attend college and many graduates depart the country, HELP’s work centers on changing this trajectory and reducing brain drain. The organization operates within the nonprofit sector with the goal of equipping students with the skills and support to pursue higher education and contribute to Haiti's development. A recent development noted is HELP’s September 2022 partnership with Barbancourt, illustrating collaboration with local partners to support recruitment and outreach.
