There are two ways to participate in Involucrate: one is through corporate partnerships and the other is targeted to individuals. The purpose of both is to recruit people to join the network so they can improve the quality of public education.
Get Involved for Corporations
We support social responsibility strategies adopted by local businesses that wish to contribute to the improvement of Puerto Rico’s education system. We have designed an eight hour training for 20 to 40 employees helping them understand the current public education crisis and motivating them to do something about it. Information about Sapientis and the Adaptive Leadership model is also provided.
Centennial is the first corporation to establish an alliance with Sapientis to implement Involúcrate during 2008. Reliable, Bacardi Corp. and Banco Popular de Puerto Rico are evaluating the proposal for this program.
Involúcrate for Corporationsrequires a three-year commitment from the company. For more information please contact Mildred Antuna at 787-977-3230, ext. 231.
Get Involved for Individuals
Individuals with a genuine interest in improving the quality of public education are encouraged to participate in Involúcrate. We provide a six-hour training session where we offer information about the present challenges faced by the public education system, as well as information about Sapientis and the Adaptive Leadership model. This workshop seeks to awaken the individual’s sense of urgency and motivate them to help solve the problems facing the island’s public education system.
The next Involúcrateworkshop will take place on Saturday, December 13 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Sapientis. If you wish to participate, please compleate the following information. To see the invitation click here.
Sapientis Week
Besides providing training workshops for corporations and individuals through Involúcrate, we have created Sapientis Week, an initiative aimed at grabbing the public’s attention about the importance of quality public education. During Sapientis Week distinguished people from different sectors participate as voluntary teachers at public schools. Volunteers get to experience the challenges faced by public school teachers and validate their importance.
