ABOUT

At Workshops Foundation our mission is to inspire and empower young global citizens to become thoughtful, dynamic and impactful future leaders through experiential learning.

The DNA of our foundation contains a passion for fostering a greater understanding of the world at large through hands-on experience, unique access, people-to-people exchange, and high-quality programming. We also believe an investment in our programs promotes critical thinking, engaged and better informed citizens, personal growth, greater independence and empowered future leaders interested in making a positive impact in their community. 

Our programs are available for both students and faculty at the Elementary, Middle, High School, and University levels. We also offer family, adult and professional programs. 

Private, nonprofit and nonpartisan in nature, the Workshop Foundation is headquartered in Washington, DC. Our home base allows for close connections with the officials, organizations and networks capable of making each program unique and more than just a tour.
