Staff & Governance
Each IFE program operates under the direction of a local Program Coordinator. Central administration and communication is carried out by IFE's Director and by the Outreach Manager.
The IFE team were/still are a haven for all their students, former and current. They were so kind and gave me so much support. They are one of the most compassionate, knowledgeable, and open-minded group of people you will meet
