Join a five-day, once-in-a-lifetime leadership expedition on the streets of Iași, Romania. In this immersive experience, you’ll work alongside a team of likeminded leaders and street-connected youth—using your leadership skills to create real impact while transforming your own mindset in the process.
This journey takes you far outside your comfort zone and deep into what leadership truly means: trust, purpose, connection and resilience.
Forget the classroom. This is real, raw, and deeply human. You’ll co-create with the local community, connect with children living in vulnerable conditions, and collaborate on projects that contribute directly to the work of StreetSmart.
Each challenge becomes a mirror—inviting reflection, triggering insight, and accelerating growth. You’ll return changed: more grounded, more authentic, and more connected to your purpose.
2 seats per edition are available at cost for social entrepreneurs or non-profit leaders. Reach out if you'd like to apply.

Did you know that 150 million young talents are forced to limit themselves to mere survival on the streets, simply because they were born into the wrong context?
Now imagine a street child—abandoned, yet resilient—navigating constant crisis, extreme competition for scarce resources, and a world where uncertainty is the only certainty. And then, imagine what would happen if we gave these survivors the supportive environment they deserve. The impact they could have on society would be extraordinary.
At StreetwiZe, we reinvest all our profits into building and deploying mobile schools—schools on wheels that turn streets and squares into places of empowerment. Places where street youth discover their talents, reclaim their dignity and unlock their full potential.
At StreetwiZe we don’t just train leaders. We are on a mission to build a world where every talent can flourish, … in your company and on the streets.
All profits generated by StreetwiZe are invested in MobileSchool.org to develop the talents of street children worldwide.
