Founded in the summer of 1988, the W.E.B. DuBois Scholars Institute is a nonprofit that provives exposure to science and technology, and with leadership, scholarship, community service, and entrepreneur training to high-achieving youth attending secondary schools. Housed at Princeton University, the private leadership development organization was established with the aim of solving some of society's most intractable problems - including poverty, urban decay, and dysfunctional family structures -not by attacking problems, but by strengthening the solution.
