World Leadership School

World Leadership School and its partner nonprofit World Leadership Foundation, partners with a diverse schools around the world to reimagine learning and create next-generation leaders.

World Leadership School is a Founding B Corp, which means in 2007 it was one of the first 82 companies to join the B Corp movement to “make business a force for good.” Today there are over 8,000 B Corps spread across 96 countries. As a certified B Corp, and a registered Benefit Corporation in the state of Colorado, we publish the impact of both our travel programs and educator development work in an annual impact report. Since 2007, we have transformed the lives of over 20,000 students and teachers and helped hundreds of schools reimagine learning. We measure impact on student learning, teacher growth, and many other areas.

World Leadership Foundation, a registered 501©3 nonprofit in the state of Colorado, was started the year after World Leadership School. Since 2009, World Leadership Foundation has raised more than $2.5 million to support rural schools, NGOs, and other social impact projects in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and the USA. TeachUNITED, which became an independent nonprofit in January 2020, grew out of World Leadership Foundation’s early work with rural schools. TeachUNITED works to increase equity through education. TeachUNITED is a scalable approach to improving the quality of rural education in Africa, Latin America, and North America. By 2023, TeachUNITED reached more than one million students and 30,000 educators globally.
