Who is SWB?


Schools Without Borders (SWB) is a youth-run, Canadian charity that is responding to the need to make learning more accessible for today's youth. SWB's mission is to develop lasting learning communities through innovative youth-led initiatives that facilitate youth engagement and responsible leadership.

In partnership with dynamic and established NGOs in Canada, Brazil, Kenya, Nepal, India, and Thailand, SWB provides hands-on/project-based learning experiences for today's youth that: create positive spaces for young people to develop their skills, experiences and confidence; provide guidance for youth to turn raw idealism into responsible action; and build durable community networks that allow youth to learn from each other by sharing their culture and experiences.
