At UWC, we are always thinking about how to use our resources and networks to provide help and change where it’s needed the most. We want to make sure that a UWC education is powerful, and that its reach also spans further than the years students spend at one of our schools.
And this is why the effects of a UWC education multiply far beyond the impact it has on a single UWC student.
Here are just a few ways in which we turn our ethos into action:
Inspiring students – We encourage our students to turn their passion for change into careers that make a difference.
Offering opportunities – Through our generous network of donors, we help provide an education for refugees and others who might otherwise have missed out on educational opportunities.
Empowering talent – We work with partners to provide funding and opportunities for transformative ideas, projects, and initiatives.
