· Help Moroccan youth explore and discover their potential through innovative science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM,) programs, as well as entrepreneurship programs.

· Encourage Moroccan youth to participate in civic life through social entrepreneurship, volunteerism, and community engagement.
