Community Engagement

Community Support

“Support from Adtalem Global Education has deepened Girls in the Game’s ability to help girls develop into role models as they grow up. They have graciously hosted our annual Leadership Institute from the event’s inception, providing a day of networking, exploration and early professional development for teen and middle school girls.” Dawn Kobel, Director of Development and Communications

St. Kitts & Nevis Agriculture

Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine’s Small Ruminant Student Club collaborated with the St. Kitts & Nevis Ministry of Agriculture to improve goat production on both islands. Through the crossbreeding of local indigenous species with goats from the United States, the project will enhance the agriculture industry through the quality of livestock on the island by producing offspring with better growth rates and stronger resistance to local diseases.

Employee Volunteerism

Our team is passionate about giving back to the communities in which we work, live and teach, and to helping those in need. Around the world we collectively use our skills and volunteer our time in fulfillment of our values. Adtalem students, faculty and employees participate in philanthropic opportunities throughout the year at corporate and campus-supported events. Adtalem holds an annual “Month of Service,” providing a paid work day for employees to volunteer with a charitable organization of their choosing. Many of our employees, including senior leaders, also lend their expertise to the community by participating on nonprofit boards or by speaking on panels at community events.

Philanthropic Giving

Adtalem Global Education recognizes that uplifting a community often requires philanthropic support, and that is why we are committed to giving back through both our 501(c)(3) charitable arm, the Adtalem Global Education Foundation, and through corporate support of non-profit and civic organizations that promote workforce development, strengthen community health and well-being, improve educational access and equity, and inclusion.

Helping our Adtalem Family

The Adtalem Assistance Fund supports the colleagues and students of Adtalem’s institutions and companies who are in need. Donations to the fund have benefitted members of the Adtalem community affected by hurricanes across the Caribbean and southern US, as well as those in our community affected by wildfires.

The Adtalem Global Education Foundation

Independent from the corporate giving efforts, the Adtalem Global Education Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2010, is organized to support charitable, educational and research purposes. The Foundation’s activities reflect commitment to the following strategic areas: investing to expand access to education, jobs and careers; supporting the development of the communities where we live and work; and combating inequality and encouraging civic engagement.

Empower Scholarship Fund

Established in 2000, the Empower Scholarship Fund provides financial support in the form of scholarships (restricted and unrestricted) to current students, especially those with the greatest need and who have established a successful academic track record. Students who, without scholarships, may find it difficult to continue their education.
