CWY is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to the empowerment of young people. CWY collaborates with partners in Canada and around the world to create transformative learning experiences focused on building knowledge and leadership skills through participation in sustainable community-driven projects.

Youth have always been at the heart of what we do, how we do it, and why we do it.

After participating in a CWY program, young people feel more committed to themselves, more committed to their community and more committed to the organization.

200,000 individuals have been impacted by CWY over 50 years, alumni, host families and beneficiaries have had their lives changed by CWY's programming.

70 countries have partnered with CWY, empowering young people and their communities for generations.

512 business launched overseas in the last 4 years with over 97% still operating 6 months after having received seed capital and business training through CWY programming, half of which are women.
