WinC Community Raises $25,000 to Activate

Almost exactly one year since Laurie and Sam kicked off WinC’s endowment fund with a $25 000 bequest our alumni community has raised an additional $25,000! This was the amount needed to activate the endowment and unlock another $25 000 bequest from Laurie and Sam

We are so grateful to be a part of this community

Growing Global Presence

In response to growing demand WinC piloted dialogues in four new international locations during the past academic year As a result, we are now operating at thirteen different sites in nine partner countries We are thrilled to offer opportunities for meaningful global engagement to Penn State students and to students from around the world Pictured to the right are four of our dedicated coordinators, who helped make these new partnerships possible

Stay tuned! We have big fundraising goals ahead as we strive to bring facilitation skills into the hand and hearts of more people around the world Thank you for standing with us PARTNER
