About the Event
Partners of the Americas' (Partners) mission is to connect people and organizations across and within borders to serve and change lives. Partners promotes education by encouraging people to develop the knowledge, skills and values needed to effectively engage with the world. Through partnerships with higher education institutions, the organization provides connections, financial support mechanisms, and meaningful international experiences to create sustainable community-based initiatives, personal and professional development, and increased cultural awareness throughout the Western Hemisphere.
Administered by Partners, the 100,000 Strong in the Americas Innovation Fund (100K) is the public-private sector collaboration between the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Embassies, Partners of the Americas, corporations, and foundations working together to stimulate new higher education partnerships between the United States and the rest of the Western Hemisphere. This webinar presented the stories from Penelope Kim, Program Director of 100K and Carmen Amalia Rodriguez Ortiz, a student at the University of San Carlos in Guatemala about the ways they are promoting climate action at their Higher Education Institutions.
