Our mission is to empower young leaders to find new and innovative approaches to the world’s pressing problems. We partner with middle and high schools to create global education programs based on long-term relationships with sister schools in Africa and Latin America. Our programs begin with service and leadership trips and continue with internet-based distance learning exchanges.

“The depth and breadth of knowledge that members of WLS brought to our faculty in­service inspired many faculty members to explore ways in which their own curricula could become more global. For any school seeking to develop global programs that are truly integrated throughout the curriculum, the expertise and experience of WLS will be of great value.”

From the Field...

Ensworth Kenya, 2010

“Two nights ago we went on our homestay. The trip started off with a ride through desert like Masai lands. We saw four giraffes on the way there. Once we arrived at the boma they welcomed us with a cup of hot chai tea...when we finished our tea, the kids started dancing and singing to us...The homestay was an overall great experience.”
