THIS YEAR SOME 30,000 PEOPLE FROM NEARLY 150 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES HAVE PARTICIPATED IN A WORLD LEARNING IN-PERSON OR VIRTUAL PROGRAM. OUR APPROACH TO GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT EMPLOYS STRONG LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS AND USES EXPERIENTIAL APPROACHES GROUNDED IN THE ORGANIZATION'S 90-YEAR HISTORY TO IDENTIFY SOLUTIONS TO PRESSING GLOBAL AND LOCAL DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES IN BASIC EDUCATION; WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT; AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT. LOCALLY DRIVEN INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS BUILD THE FOUNDATIONS OF CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IN UNDER-REPRESENTED COMMUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD.
