World Scouting and Universidad Europea today announced a new partnership enabling young people and adult volunteers in the Interamerican Region to access education opportunities that will help them prepare for learning and growth within the Scout Movement and beyond.
Every week, thousands of people in the Interamerica Region contribute their time to support children, adolescents, and young people, lead projects, and serve their communities. The new partnership with Universidad Europea recognises that volunteer commitment by providing access to education opportunities for personal and professional development.
Active members of the Scout Movement will be able to access financial support covering between 50% and 75% of the cost of courses for specific types of education programmes. The courses are online and flexible, enabling volunteers to study while balancing their family, work, and Scouting responsibilities. These opportunities also enable volunteers to engage in lifelong learning and building skills for the future that can strengthen their professional careers and personal development.
The partnership brings together the educational experience of Universidad Europea, an institution with more than 30 years in education, and the values and reach of the Scout Movement. Together, both organisations share a commitment that education transforms lives and communities, and that everyone should have opportunities to learn, grow and develop to their fullest potential.
