Regions
Paraguay
Partners has been working in Paraguay since 1968, when the Paraguay and Kansas Chapters were founded. Since then, the Paraguay Chapter has designed and produced a curriculum and volunteer match program that trains volunteers and organizations that work with volunteers. The Chapter’s association with multiple civil society organizations and universities throughout Paraguay has uniquely positioned Partners to draw on local and international technical experts and resources. Through professional exchange programs, Partners has established lasting relationships in Paraguay with government institutions including the Paraguay Supreme Court and the national-level Senate. Partners has also worked with various local NGOs including Fundación Kuña Aty, Juntos por la Educación, Semillas para la Democracia, and Centro de Información y Recursos para el Desarrollo (CIRD).
Through youth leadership exchange programs, we’ve worked with young people in Paraguay to increase leadership skills and improve mutual understanding between youth in Paraguay and the United States.

The 100,000 Strong in the Americas initiative equips and builds a thriving, skilled workforce across the Americas through multi-sector partnerships and innovative regional education collaboration. Equipping students with technical and linguistic skills through exchange programs, 100,000 Strong helps develop a more skilled workforce and strengthens regional economies.
