Letter from our Board Chair: Looking Forward to the next 80 years ver the past two years, World Learning connected with thousands Oof our students, alumni, parents, and supporters across the coun- try through our 80th Anniversary celebrations. In my travels during this time, I witnessed firsthand the lasting impact of our programs, and I want to express my gratitude to all of our 80th Anniversary sponsors who made this possible.

This report highlights several significant moments and milestones from the past year, but it also reveals what lies ahead for us. Most notably, in July we welcomed our new President and CEO, Donald Steinberg, who brings decades of experience in international development to our organization. Don is a true leader in the field, and we look forward to working with him. We know that like his predecessor, Adam Weinberg, he will continue to lead the growth of our global network of programs.

Under Don’s leadership, World Learning will equip more students with skills to address global challenges, empower more communities to create sustainable development, and strengthen our connections with our alumni through programs like the Advancing Leaders Fellowship. I had the pleasure of meeting our inaugu- ral Fellows in June, and am excited to see them already applying their new knowledge and skills to address education, health, disability, and cultural needs in diverse communities in Cameroon, Chile, Ghana, Nepal, and Tanzania.

The World Learning community demonstrated tremendous generosity this year with more than 1,000 special 80th Anniversary donations. Sustaining this level of support will enable us to continue expanding the reach of our programs. With contributions from individuals, foundations, corporations, and other community and government partners, we can advance leadership around the globe for another 80 years.

Thank you for your continued support,

n 1992, Jennifer Dulski was faced with an unusual Iproblem: how to keep poisonous snakes away while she slept in the Brazilian Amazon. “It turns out they like the tasty tarantulas that were hanging around our camp,” she explains. “To get rid of the snakes, we had to first remove the tarantulas. The lesson was clear: Some problems are better tackled in strategic stages than with a single show of force.” Dulski has more than 15 years of experience with internet companies, and like many World Learning alumni, a deep passion for making the world a better place. As the president and COO of Change.org, she is no longer chasing away snakes, but using her SIT Study Abroad experience to find solutions and make a difference in more than 190 countries. “Back then, I didn’t know I would go on to lead- ership roles at some of the world’s great internet companies,” says Dulski, “and that in my work at these companies, I would repeatedly draw on lessons I learned in the Jennifer Dulski (left) poses with fellow SIT rainforest.” Study Abroad student in Brazil in 1992. In fact, tarantula-wrangling and problem-solving were only a part of what Dulski learned in the rainforest. By participating in SIT Study Abroad’s Amazon rainforest ecology program, she put herself in a chal- lenging environment with a new culture and language. To survive, she realized she had to open herself up to new ideas and not only learn a language, but also learn how to communicate effectively—a crucial skill for leaders in any situation. “Not only did I survive, but I flourished, gaining confidence in my ability to thrive in new situations,” stresses Dulski. “I had a key realization that has stuck with me since then: No matter how good you eventually be- come at something, the first time you do it, you haven’t done it before.” This past year, Dulski gave back to World Learning not only through a donation, but also by participating as a panelist at our first-ever Social Innovation Summit and Citation Award Dinner honoring her mother, Judy Huret.

World Learning Annual Report 2013 9 International Exchange Programs World Learning organizes transformative exchanges and study tours for thousands of emerging leaders from 140 countries annually. Programs develop leadership skills, community-building tools, and professional expertise while immersing participants in other cultures and contexts.

Short-term learning experiences in the United States offer professional development through links to US and international colleagues. Academic exchanges place international exchange students in US colleges and universities to strengthen leadership and career-specific skills while exploring US culture. World Learning youth programs help young people from around the globe learn about leadership, current issues, and peace- building, as they gain the skills and motivation to make a difference in their communities.

This year, World Learning implemented a new exchange program for youth leaders from Libya, sponsored by the United States Department of State. The program brought 12 Libyan high school students and 3 adult mentors to the United States for three weeks to develop their peacebuilding and conflict resolution skills. www.worldlearning.org/international-development-and-exchange-programs

World Learning Annual Report 2013 11 International Development Programs World Learning International Development programs work in 30 countries to enhance the capacity of individuals, communities, and institutions to take ownership of their own development, secure just and effective policies and structures, and create sus- tainable positive change.

Capacity development programs work with governmental and nongovernmental institutions, community-based organizations, and other groups to strengthen their performance and ability to serve their communities. Civil society and governance pro- grams connect local communities with public and private institutions to promote citizen engagement for good governance and foster policies that respect basic human rights at all levels of society. Education programs aim to create new economic opportunities, provide teacher training, and reduce inequality by improving basic, higher and vocational, and English language education. HIV/AIDS programs implement intervention initiatives to educate individuals about HIV prevention; improve social, economic, and political environments to be conducive to HIV prevention; and support orphans and vulnerable children.

This year World Learning’s international development work included projects sponsored by the U.S. Agency for International Development to expand science and math education in Egypt; strengthen workplace HIV prevention programs in Ethiopia; and provide youth academic and professional training in more than a dozen countries worldwide. www.worldlearning.org/international-development-and-exchange-programs

Like many alumni, she is also very involved in a number of causes and has recently become more engaged with World Learning.

Now a World Learning San Francisco Bay Area Council member, Carmien served as a judge for the inaugural Advancing Leaders Fellowship competition in June. “I decided to judge at the Social Innovation Summit, because I had recently only been focusing my volunteer service on the local level,” says Carmien. “I needed to bring back a global perspective to my personal giving.” Tonya Carmien navigates an outdoor market in Ukraine.

These partnerships are key to recruiting highly motivated lower-income and minority youth and individuals with disabilities. Each local partner helps The Experiment identify motivated students, works to prepare students for the rigor of The Experiment programs, and serves as liaison with parents and guardians. Partners also assist students to raise additional money for program expenses, which aids in maximizing the investment of scholarship resources.

Lo warned him that the sauce was spicy, but he shocked us both when he started drinking it by the spoonful!”

Blais passed away last year at the age of 81 and continued her legacy of support for the organization and its programs by leaving a portion of her estate to a scholarship fund for World Learning students. The organization is greatly appreciative of donors like Blais, whose lifetime of generosity will help World Learning provide a diverse selection of students the opportunity to become Experimenters and SIT students for years.

Planned gifts strengthen World Learning’s future. World Learning recognizes those who have included Lois Blais (1931-2012) the organization and its programs in their estates
