Partnerships
WYSE works with young people who are interested in leading positive change in the world to make a lasting difference. Partners support WYSE in many different ways and are essential to WYSE supporting young people to make positive change in the world. Our partner’s contributions allow us to make our programmes more diverse, equitable and accessible.
Funding partners
Both organisations and individuals support WYSE financially. This support allows us to reduce programme costs to participants, offer bursaries and make programmes more affordable to everyone. If you would like to become a funding partner please click here. If you’d like to offer funding for a specific purpose please email pia@wyse-ngo.org. We are very grateful for our existing funding partners.
Our previous funding partners include the British Council Youth in Action Programme, LOYAC and Dr. Bronner’s.
Institutional partners
Our institutional partners are organisations who align with our values and who contribute to WYSE through logistical support and recognition. These partners offer their expertise to remove barriers for participation and recognise the work WYSE does. If you are able to support WYSE through logistical help or recognition please contact pia@wyse-ngo.org. Our institutional partners include:
The United Nations Department for Global Communications is officially associated with WYSE International, we actively participate in the conferences and activities of the United Nations.
The Italian Ministry for Foreign Affairs provides patronage to WYSE though logistical support for our programmes in Italy.
Service partners
Our service partners are organisations that provide gifts in kind and services to support our work and help us reduce costs which also helps lower programme costs. If you are able to offer WYSE services at no cost please get in touch with pia@wyse-ngo.org. In addition to our service partners we are also supported by Google and Salesforce with free software subscriptions.
Organisational partners
Our organisational partners promote WYSE programmes among their members and audiences and often send participants to WYSE programmes. This allows participants from diverse backgrounds and projects to access WYSE programmes. If you are able to fund someone in your organisation to attend a WYSE programme please contact pia@wyse-ngo.org. Companies are also able to send staff through our corporate programme which supports an additional participant to attend at reduced or no cost.
Project partners
Our project partners are organisations created by WYSE alumni that are aligned to our organisational values. WYSE supports them by offering advanced programmes, alumni coaching and other opportunities. These organisations are working towards the same goals as WYSE, supporting emerging leaders for global change. If you are a WYSE alumni and would like to apply to become a project partner please email pia@wyse-ngo.org. Alumni can also become a WYSE Regional Ambassador.
