For more than 90 years, World Learning has worked to create a more peaceful and just world. Its education, development, and exchange programs help people find their voices, connect with their communities, strengthen the institutions that form the backbone of a democratic society, and build relationships across cultures. With its support, these emerging leaders tackle critical global issues like poverty, conflict, and inequality.
World Learning is working to improve global education to ensure schools and teachers have the tools they need to support students—including English language instruction through its TESOL teacher training. It encourages civic engagement in communities around the world and strengthens institutions to better serve their constituencies. Its youth workforce and entrepreneurship programs help people cultivate the skills they need for the modern economy. And consistent with its long history, World Learning continues to offer a robust portfolio of people-to-people exchanges—including professional exchanges, academic exchanges, and youth programs—that enrich the lives of people from more than 150 countries.
Its distinct approach to change incorporates five key elements: experiential learning, leadership development, inclusive practices, innovation, and grants management. World Learning collaborates with local partners to find solutions that will truly work for each community. Together, they create the foundations for a better tomorrow.
World Learning works globally to enhance the capacity and commitment of individuals, institutions, and communities to create a more peaceful and just world through education, sustainable development, and exchange.
