Power in Partnership

EQWIP HUBs are fuelled by collaboration, and we are grateful for our global network of dedicated partners and supporters.


EQWIP is an innovative youth-serving alliance powered by Canada World Youth (CWY) and Youth Challenge International (YCI).

With a combined 70 years of experience, CWY and YCI are recognized as cutting edge leaders in global youth development. Forty thousand young people around the world have been transformed through CWY’s world-renowned global reciprocal exchange programs and YCI’s youth innovation initiatives, proving young people can lead real change in global health, the environment, and youth livelihoods. CWY and YCI came together as collaborators in 2013, bridging their expertise and powerful networks to launch EQWIP HUBs.
