Exchange
World Learning brings emerging leaders from 140 countries annually to the United States for International Exchanges. We offer short-term learning experiences for individuals seeking professional development through links to US and international colleagues, new insights, and a broader view of core US values and culture. Academic exchanges place international students in US colleges and universities to strengthen their leadership and career-specific skills while they explore US culture. Young people from around the globe learn about leadership, current issues, and peacebuilding on World Learning youth programs.
Development
Our International Development Programs prepare communities worldwide to effectively address critical issues such as poverty and exclusion, youth participation, educational access and quality, the spread of HIV/AIDS, the marginalization of women and children, and government accountability. We work with our local partners to identify specific needs, resources, and challenges--valuable local context that informs the design and implementation of custom development activities. This approach ensures that our partners invest deeply in projects and provide the local leadership required to ensure their long-term success.
