To work globally to enhance the capacity and commitment of individuals, institutions, and communities to create a more sustainable, peaceful, and just world.
About
Global Development and Exchange - For more than twenty-five years, World Learning has worked to bridge the gap between the desire for human development and the ability to achieve that goal. This year, in more than 20 countries around the globe, our programs build the capacity of individuals, communities, and institutions to take ownership of their own development, secure just and effective policies and structures, and create sustainable positive change. Activities include training activists in Myanmar, teaching nurses in Malawi, supporting Tech Camps for youth in Algeria, assisting primary schools in Lebanon, and supporting STEM education in Egypt. Each year in the US we provide more than 2,000 youth and professionals from 144 different countries with exchange and training programs on a variety of subjects, including business, education, agriculture, media, politics, health, and leadership. Our approach to development employs strong local partnerships and uses experiential methods grounded in the organization's more than 80 years of teacher training to provide the tools needed for improved awareness and attitudes aligned with enhanced knowledge and skills. Our theory of change is grounded in the belief that these tools can be and will be applied and reapplied to address the most pressing global and local development challenges of youth leadership; workforce development; the marginalization of disadvantaged groups; literacy and access to quality education; and government accountability. World Learning's core competencies are: 1) Education, 2) Youth Leadership, 3) International Exchange, and 4) Local Institutional Strengthening & Training. We are funded by various private and institutional donors including the US Department of State and the United States Agency for International Development.
