The World Trust Foundation's mission is to mentor future leaders and empower the youth of the world to lead the creation of a sustainable future. Our programs will show how renewable energy makes an impact on the Millennium Development Goals.

Media and technology are the conduits for communication between cultures. The World Trust Foundation creates opportunities for collaboration between young people, individuals, corporations, educators and other non-profit organizations. Advanced web-based technologies now make it easier than ever before to build the global partnerships that World Trust has helped foster since 1994.
World Trust’s workshops, conferences, and empowerment camps are being made available to larger audiences through web-based communication. Now, more young people than ever before have the opportunity to become the authors of their own lives and leaders in their communities through the WORLD TRUST WIRE
As technology brings the world together, building understanding between people of different cultures and nations is essential to ensure that advances in communication, which are used for peaceful rather than violent purposes. World Trust now offers scholarships for members of the Young Leaders Network to travel to different nations and encounter cultures other than their own.
We also believe that once racial understanding is on the forefront of our youth's minds, there could be a chance for a world of peace. Therefore, through our programs we offer scholarships for our YOUNG LEADERS to travel on project missions around the world to meet those from other cultures and countries.
