What We Do

World Connections Foundation (WCF) is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to improving lives through education, leadership instruction, creative and critical thinking development, world schooling and expanded college and university enrollments.

It is our belief that ‘Education Is Healing and Healing Is Education’, that an imaginative mindset rocks, personal empowerment is living the life you imagined and great leadership means she’s a game changer—and that’s just for starters. Simply put: We are enthusiastic cultivators of the extraordinary in every human being.

Our Core Focus Areas

Personal Empowerment
Education plays a catalytic role in personal empowerment. It teaches students about their skills, strengths, goals, and weaknesses, ultimately empowering them to move up the economic ladder and break multi-generational patterns of low employment and higher poverty. We are committed to ensuring all students realize their full and brilliant potential to live the life they imagined.

Women’s Leadership
The cultivation of female leaders and empowering women through education produces far-reaching economic and social benefits. Gender diversity ensures that the best minds are brought together to undertake the challenges of the 21st Century. What ultimately matters is leadership that triggers broad, sustainable change for all.

Micro Business Entrepreneurship
Micro Businesses represent 92% of all U.S. businesses and are quickly changing the dynamics of income, wealth creation and quality of life in America. We provide students with guidance on planning, negotiations, selling, business financials and competition, helping them turn their passions into personal and professional independence.

Dynamic Career Skills
Creative and critical thinking skills are the new mandates from industries around the globe. Using innovative learning methods, we provide students with the means to quickly adopt these skills, giving them a competitive edge in today’s job and career marketplaces.

Experiential Learning
Through hands-on experiences, reflection, and critical analysis, students develop lasting behavior change and new habits. Our programs incorporate experiential learning as a core instructional strategy to unleash the extraordinary in all students.

Our Mission

World Connections Foundation reaches across all borders and into local communities to advance education and leadership, empowering and connecting individuals, leadership ambassadors, researchers, educational professionals, students and volunteers.

We know every life has within them unlimited promise. That is why we are dedicated to enriching lives through the power of knowledge. We are enthusiastic believers in the brilliance of brain power, creative genius and scholarly greatness.

We recognize that the path to sustainable personal independence, leadership and economic inclusion begins when under-represented communities can access an exceptional education.

What We Believe

We believe education and creativity are the cornerstones to self-reliance. We promote a revolutionary learning platform that elevates human imagination, ingenuity, critical thinking and thought leadership, preparing the next generation for the 21st century and beyond.

We believe in:

• Innovation as empowerment – Using the latest science and technology to advance research and development in education tools, particularly for young girls and women in under-served communities
• Empowering marginalized youths – Providing credential-based pathways to good jobs and careers through accredited leadership mentor programs
• Expanding opportunities – Cultivating promising future leaders, especially young women and girls of racially diverse backgrounds and low-income communities
• Excellence in teaching – Combining wisdom with modern science, implementing innovative methods and promising new curriculums in leadership, career preparation, and micro businesses

Our Learning Model

Why Hybrid Online?
We blend online delivery with traditional methods because technology and human mentoring together offer the best of both worlds. By opening this concept to a global and inter-cultural marketplace, we create real-time learning that teaches students to think and interact with the world around them.

Why InterCultural?
An international and global learning platform broadens a student’s experience and prepares them for the reality of an ever-expanding global economic and business world. Education is about understanding and realizing others’ values—sharing intercultural dialogue that is respectful and honoring.
