Where It Comes From

Where the work comes from.

Legal education workspace with scales of justice, gavel and laptop

Spring-Forth TLDP is the flagship initiative of Restore Missions Incorporated, a nonprofit established in 2013. Restore Missions has supported economic empowerment for underserved communities, the reintegration of previously incarcerated individuals, access to learning and justice, and cross-cultural understanding for law students and communities.

Building on this legacy, including work advancing holistic, ethically grounded education in Africa through 21CLD professional development for teachers and resource support in Kenya, Spring-Forth TLDP is now being piloted at the American University of Nigeria.
