To provide economic, environmental, and social benefits to communities in a manner that builds local capacity.

ICAST also provides opportunities for university students to learn how academic studies and concepts such as sustainable development can be practically applied to the real-life problems facing disadvantaged communities. Through participation in service learning projects, students enhance technical and business skills while learning valuable lessons in teamwork, communications, and social entrepreneurship.
