The program emphasizes not only personal and academic achievements but also the importance of community service, helping students become active and responsible leaders in their communities. Represented visually by the Adinkra symbol "Adinkrahene" — three concentric circles — INfluence encourages students to recognize and balance their personal "circle of influence."
