Event Organizer
WUSC improves Education, Employment, and Empowerment opportunities for youth.
We work with a diverse network of students, volunteers, institutions, governments, and businesses to reach our vision: a better world for all young people. Our vision is a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable world in which all young people, especially women and refugees, are empowered to secure a good quality of life for themselves, their families, and their communities.
WUSC was founded in the 1920s as part of a global network that provided support to displaced students in post-war Europe. Since then, we have evolved into a Canadian global development organization working in over a dozen countries around the world that supports education, economic opportunities, and empowerment for youth, their families, and their communities.
