About Us
Welcome Message from Carol Jenkins, CEO
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.

Program Description
With support from the U.S. Embassy in Algiers, World Learning worked with six dynamic local partners to launch Community Connections Centers – CCC (C3s) to offer training and activities that built and promoted community resilience among youth.
The C3’s portfolio of services contained four main pathways to resilience: cultural identity and connectedness; bridging personal capital, linking community capital, and non-violent-related behaviors and beliefs.
Program Goals
- Developed students’ soft-skills and job-readiness skills and helped them create an action plan for the most suitable career path.
- Increased students’ sense of cultural pride to be more comfortable sharing their culture with others and helped them develop trust and confidence in government and authority figures and community organizations.
- Engaged participants in community action projects and allowed them to address their concerns in a constructive manner.
- Offered a space where youth could discuss different topics and learn to express their opinions in public while improving their English language skills.
