  4. WHO ARE WE? We are leaders. EWB-USA supports community-driven development programs worldwide, collaborating with local partners to design and implement sustainable engineering projects, while creating transformative experiences and responsible leaders. Our passion is to make a difference. EWB-USA has changed the lives of millions of people around the world, with 350 projects in over 45 developing countries.

  5. EMERGING LEADERS We have over 250 chapters including university chapters on over 180 campuses throughout the United States. Our emerging leaders are students and professionals from a variety of engineering and non-engineering disciplines. We are the emerging leaders on your campus, in your office, within your community, your neighbor, your son or daughter, YOU!

  6. HOW WE WORK Our chapters make a five year commitment to a community. EWB-USA carries out small-scale infrastructure projects, initiated by the community in need, within an overall community framework. Our projects are socio-culturally appropriate and community owned to ensure long-term sustainability. EWB-USA programs are full partnerships with a host community and one or more local NGOs. These partnerships are the basis of a long-term relationship to assure the community’s needs are sustainably met.
