Honduras
Partners has been working in Honduras since 1965, when the Honduras-Vermont Partners was founded. Currently, we’re recognized for our life-changing sport-for-development program, A Ganar, which works in some of the country’s most dangerous cities to help youth find jobs, learn entrepreneurial skills or re-enter the formal education system. In partnership with the University of Vermont, we’re also leading efforts to support agriculture development. Our past work in Honduras includes student exchanges and the Honduran Conservation Corps, an initiative to help young people in Honduras learn how to protect their country’s natural resources.

100,000 Strong in the Americas
The 100,000 Strong in the Americas (100K) Innovation Fund expands opportunities for higher education institutions to create partnerships and launch innovative student exchange and training programs. This opens access to underrepresented student populations, improves workforce development training, increases public-private investment, and strengthens people-to-people ties between the United States and Latin America and the Caribbean.
Education exchanges have long been used as a tool to foster international cooperation and promote technical, linguistic, and intercultural skills development for students to operate in an increasingly globalized world. Created in 2013 by the White House’s National Security Council, the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, Partners of the Americas, and NAFSA: Association of International Educators, the 100K Innovation Fund is an impactful hemisphere-wide education initiative that creates dynamic regional collaboration across the private sector, foundations, government entities, NGOs, and academia to support higher education partnerships and increase the number and diversity of students in the Americas who have access to innovative training and exchange programs.
Unlike traditional scholarship programs, which support individual students or faculty, the 100K Innovation Fund stimulates innovation at the institutional level and provides critical funding on a competitive basis to higher education institutions across the Americas to build partnerships that result in innovative student exchange and training programs that are scalable and sustainable.
