2024

On June 5, 2024, a new Board was elected and a new President appointed.

During COVID-19 and the Russian invasion, our activity was temporarily suspended, but in June 2024 it was renewed successfully.

On September 28, 2024, partnership with LeaderImpact was established.

On September 1, 2024, the Ukrainian School of Elites established partnership with Irpin Business Breakfast, an association of entrepreneurs and business people from the Kyiv region.

On August 15, 2024, the Ukrainian School of Elites had the honor of signing a Memorandum of Partnership with the Business Coalition of the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA BC) that unites Christian leaders and organizations worldwide for strategic partnerships and collaboration.

On July 1, 2024, the Ukrainian School of Elites concluded a Memorandum of Partnership with GoFriends NGO, which provides IT education to orphans and implements psychological and physical rehabilitation programs for IDPs, veterans and victims of Russian aggression.

2014 — 2023

The active development of the social movement in Ukraine in 2013-2014 (Revolution of Dignity, Euromaidan, Chaplain movement, Prayer Tent, etc.) caused a surge in civic activity.

On the wave of enthusiasm and positive changes in Ukraine, the Ukrainian School of Elites NGO was founded, aimed to support the new generation in its desire to build a successful and fair society.

In 2014, the Russian Federation committed an act of military aggression against Ukraine and violated the international law — it annexed the Crimean Peninsula and invaded the eastern territories of our sovereign state. A voluntary and charitable movement arose in Ukraine. The chaplaincy was actively developing.

At that time, the director of the Ukrainian School of Elites Olena Polkhovska organized many events for young people — seminars, conferences, talk shows, etc., adding new meanings redefining elite (as opposed to the negative image created by corrupt officials of the 1990s ).

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization’s activities were temporarily suspended, but resumed in June 2024, despite military aggression by the Russian Federation. A new Board and President were elected, new projects initiated, and new partnerships established.
