A Letter From the President

Thank you for being part of the World Learning community.

I want to take this opportunity to say thank you for everything you do to help us achieve our mission of creating a more peaceful and just world.

World Learning’s power to achieve our mission lies in you, the hundreds of thousands of people in our network who dedicate their lives, in ways both large and small, to achieving positive social change in this world. You believe that change is achievable and are motivated by hope and an understanding of the common bond we all share across race, religion and culture. I am inspired by the power of this network.

I recently participated in an event in Mexico that brought together 200 people who are doing some of the most creative and innovative work to address global poverty. At the event, I was struck by the number of participants who had gotten their inspiration from our programs. They were former Experimenters, SIT or IHP students. World Learning staff members, or parents of participants on our programs. It was a confirmation of the multiple ways World Learning is cultivating the leadership we need for a shrinking world.    

As I write this letter, we have students in about 50 countries around the world. They are living in homestays, learning local languages and building a better world one friend at a time. They are joined by our staff in Ethiopia, Angola, Liberia and many other places who are working across the developing world on short term programs that will train local leaders while creating more cross-cultural understanding.    

Without the commitment of our members, we could not continue to unlock the potential of tomorrow’s global leaders. So, thank you for all you do to help us achieve our mission. I know that together we can continue to produce positive change in the world. I hope you continue to make World Learning, SIT, IHP and The Experiment a part of your life.


Sincerely,

Adam Weinberg
President/CEO World Learning
