Partners of the Americas promotes education by encouraging people to develop the knowledge, skills, and values needed to effectively engage with the world.
The Education Unit provides capacity building to local partners to improve access and education quality, strengthen social networks to support learning, and improve learning environments to be safe and responsive to the needs of children and youth.
Through sports for development, we have partnered with the private sector to provide youth with market-driven skills and job placement opportunities.
We partner with higher education institutions to provide connections, financial support mechanisms, and meaningful international experiences to create sustainable community-based initiatives, personal and professional development, and increased cultural awareness throughout the Western Hemisphere.
Our program participants develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities that enable them to become agents of change, socially connected community leaders, and engaged actors who are respectful and ethically responsible.
Participants develop a deeper understanding of the world and global themes; the rights and responsibilities of individuals; the interconnectedness of local, national, and global issues and the importance of nurturing values and attitudes to care for others and engage in civic action.
