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.

Program Description
The Bawsala Mentorship Program provided training, mentorship, and networking opportunities to help young Algerian women build their leadership and job-readiness skills.
The Bawsala Mentorship Program was an initiative implemented by World Learning in Algiers under the name Maharat Mentorship Program, utilizing World Learning Algeria’s approach and expertise with youth workforce development. Implemented in close partnership with the U.S. Embassy in Algeria, over 10 months the project successfully helped 70% of participants to obtain internship or job opportunities, with 30% of participants going on to further their studies. Under this new grant, the Bawsala project expanded to cover Algiers and Oran to benefit 50 unemployed Algerian women.
