One World Youth Project often partners with other organizations for specific projects, events, and initiatives. Sometimes other organizations working with school/youth networks will partner with OWYP to plug their schools/groups into our network. Youth Network Partners Miracle Corners of the World Miracle Corners of the World (MCW) works closely with community members and leaders, educational institutions, governmental agencies and not-for-profit organizations on a global basis to develop programs that advance cross-cultural understanding and promote sustainable improvements in the education, healthcare and economic well-being of socio-economically diverse communities through youth empowerment and leadership development. MCW is a grassroots, youth founded, not-for-profit community development and revitalization organization that has developed and assisted with numerous community projects in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and the United States, including the construction of the Dr. Herman Wrice Youth Village Community Center in Arusha, Tanzania.

Roots & Shoots The Jane Goodall Institute’s global environmental and humanitarian program for youth, Roots & Shoots, includes 7000 groups in 80 countries. There are chapters in schools, community centers, and homes around the world, involving students from kindergarten to university age. Young people in Roots & Shoots design and implement service projects that reflect care and concern for the environment, human community, and animal community. “I have introduced Roots & Shoots to U.S. teachers, to Bedouin Arabs in the Middle East, to Nigerian teachers who have embraced all three elements of its hopeful message.” Explains Dr. Fred Mednick, founder of Teachers Without Borders, “Each time, each place, the same message comes through: We can make a difference and learn at the same time.” Center for Peace Building International The Center for Peace Building International (CPBI) is a registered non profit organization (in the US and Sri Lanka), and a 501 (C) 3 tax exempt organization in the US.

Global Campaign for Education www.campaignforeducationusa.org The Global Campaign for Education (GCE) is a broad coalition of development and education research agencies and unions, representing organizations active in over 100 countries. Members include Oxfam, National Education Association, American Federation of Teachers, Save the Children, and Catholic Relief Services. The GCE’s aim is for every child in the world to get a quality basic education. Right now, 103 million children between the ages of 6-11 are out of school, and around 60 million of those missing out will be girls. Despite this education crisis, there is little media attention on the urgent need to get children into school. One of GCE's major aims is to increase media coverage of this vital issue so that we can mobilize public support to call on the world’s governments to provide education funding. In addition to many other activities, every April, GCE holds a WEEK OF ACTION – dedicated to promoting the goal of a quality basic education for all children in the poorest nations in the world.
