We are beginning a planned hiatus. This will allow us to thoughtfully reassess and strengthen our structure. We sincerely appreciate your ongoing interest and trust in our program. Please know that this decision reflects our commitment to maintaining the highest quality and impact.
We encourage you to stay connected through our official channels for updates on when we will resume and any new opportunities.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support!
