The Lazord Foundation supports the design, implementation, and development of experiential and educational programs for young professionals in the Arab and Mediterranean region. The foundation creates networking opportunities for the exchange of knowledge, experiences, and best practices. We aim to build and connect a Lazord community of diverse and responsible leaders who are motivated by a passion for civic engagement. The Lazord Foundation was created to support young college graduates driven to make an impact in their local communities. The pieces came together in 2010 when Barbara Ibrahim, Nelly Corbel, and Anna Irwin Manice joined to create the first Lazord Fellowship program.
