International Servant Leaders Museum
Welcome to the International Servant Leaders Museum
Located in Morton Grove, Illinois, the International Servant Leaders Museum is the only museum in the world dedicated to celebrating servant leadership on a global scale. Founded by the Dehkhoda Educational Foundation, the museum is named in honor of Ali Akbar Dehkhoda, a pioneering Iranian scholar, reformer, and advocate for truth and progress.
Our Purpose
The museum serves as a place of reflection, education, and inspiration. Through thoughtfully curated exhibits and storytelling, we highlight the lives of servant leaders who have made a profound impact through courage, compassion, and selfless service. Each story shared within our walls reinforces the timeless value of putting others first for the betterment of society.
What You'll Experience
Visitors journey through themed exhibits honoring individuals such as Jane Addams, Malala Yousafzai, Anne Frank, Martin Luther King Jr., and many more. These exhibits not only tell powerful stories but also challenge us to reflect on how we, too, can lead through service.
To enrich your experience, we offer an audio tour that connects directly with each exhibit. All you need is a phone and a pair of headphones! You can use it while exploring the museum in person, or enjoy the tour remotely as part of our online virtual experience—perfect if you’re unable to visit in person.
Programs & Opportunities
We proudly offer:
Field trips for schools and youth groups
Private tours for organizations and families
Leadership training and team-building workshops
Special events and community programs held throughout the year
And coming soon — open public hours, welcoming walk-in visitors to explore at their own pace
Whether you’re a student, educator, community leader, or lifelong learner, the International Servant Leaders Museum provides an enriching experience for all.

Come be inspired by the lives of those who changed the world not for personal gain, but for the good of others.
