About Us
Welcome Message from Carol Jenkins
World Learning believes that the best hope for peace, justice, and sustainability lies in bringing people together. Through cultural immersion, experiential learning, and information sharing, our programs equip others to collaboratively address the most pressing issues of our time.
Throughout my years at World Learning, I have had the fortunate opportunity to meet with many of our participants, partners, and alumni—a global network of learners. Our programs help them understand other cultures, master new skills, and cultivate networks. Our teaching and training methodologies empower them to find locally relevant, sustainable, and implementable solutions. Our approaches emphasize flexibility and adaptability that help them tackle real-world problems.
They, in turn, make extraordinary changes in their lives and communities.
Please join us—and those we work with and serve around the world—in our pursuit to create a brighter and better future for all.

DEVELOPMENT
Equipping individuals and institutions with fundamental and 21st Century skills to solve today's most pressing and complex challenges.
Our programs strengthen democracy and civic engagement and are built on inclusion of all voices. We expand training and job opportunities and provide the skills and resources for others to empower themselves—so they in turn build more peaceful and just communities.
EXCHANGE
People-to-people exchanges for youth and adults that foster intercultural understanding and connections worldwide.
We design experiential, academic, and professional programs grounded in the founding principles of our pioneering exchange program, The Experiment in International Living, started in 1932. When people from diverse backgrounds understand each other, they form vital partnerships that foster a more inclusive, stable, and peaceful world.
