Who

We

Are

At Partners of the Americas, “partnership” guides our evolving approach to development work—an approach that makes our impact last. Drawing strength from a network of individuals, chapters, NGOs, private sector organizations, educational institutions and governments across the Western Hemisphere, we emerge with innovative solutions that change lives.

By utilizing both grassroots development and volun-teer resources, our impact is maximized—and sustained. Partners possesses one of the largest networks of committed, long-serving volunteers in the hemisphere. Moreover, we’re recognized for our expertise in managing a range of develop-ment programs, such as those that combat child labor, pro-mote workforce development and increase food security. When you blend a passion for vol-unteer service with development expertise, you create a powerful force for good, where skill is connected to need, people to pas-sions and innovation to ideas.

In 2013, our volunteers served a total of 32,769 hours.

Connect. Serve. Change Lives. Our tagline frames what we do and how we do it. We connect passionate people from every background to form enduring people-to-people partnerships—partnerships that outlast funding challenges, government transitions and project closures. We empower them with the means to use their extraordinary enthusiasm toward good. And we see it change lives.

Starting Strong The aim: Foster region-wide prosperity in the Western Hemisphere. The course: Increase the number of educational exchanges and encourage higher education collaboration. The charge of 100,000 Strong in the Americas—the Obama Administration’s signature education initiative in the Western Hemisphere— is sizeable, but Partners is ready.

Leveraging our 50-year education legacy, Partners of the Americas joined the U.S. Department of State and NAFSA: Association of International Educators to build a public-private partnership to implement the initiative. In 2013, the first two competitions, supported by the U.S. Department of State and Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold Foundation, were launched. The concept caught on like wildfire within the higher education community—we had 112 proposals submitted and awarded 14 grants. In return, the initiative provides us with opportunities for political and private-sector engagement, networking with colleges and universities and more avenues to enhance education in the Americas.

By the end of 2013, 100,000 Strong had confirmed commitments for $3.65 million from funders.

Defined by the annual report theme “A legacy that inspires,” 2013 was a year of movement. We built upon a rich 50 years of successes and lessons learned to propel Partners into the future. We looked back for the purpose of moving ahead in smart, inspired ways.

And Partners’ legacy truly does inspire. It inspires both of us, our staff, our volunteers (who make our progress possible) and the communities and networks across the Western Hemisphere featured in this report.

Today, we are faced with urgent, critical trends in the Americas. Nearly 28 percent of Latin Americans, or 164 million people, are living in poverty, and the majority of these are women and children.* Inequality remains a critical issue in both the North and South. Drug use and violence plague neighborhoods across the hemisphere. At the same time, foreign assistance to the region has been steadily declining, allowing these needs to persist.

But there are heartening trends, too. Interest in the power of volunteering is growing exponentially—especially

among college-age students. A renewed emphasis on monitoring and evaluation is funneling resources toward higher-impact development work. High-performing NGOs with proven, tangible successes are now taking on roles that used to be held by government agencies—and doing a great job.

So how do we tie together these two trends—growing needs with heightened dynamism and impact—to solve our overwhelming issues?

Our answer is, and has always been, through the power of partnership. At both government and nongovernmental levels, through chapters and programs, even in our name itself, that’s what our legacy is all about. We work to bring government groups, citizens and the private sector together to solve problems. We have stakeholders on the ground in each of the 29 countries we’re working in—building local capacity and sustaining development.

We think about all that we’ve seen over the past 50 years—burgeoning technology, social

media, increased ease of travel. As the world connects in ways never imagined, Partners stays a living, breathing part of it all. And we’re continuously evolving to stay at the forefront. We’re opening up our network, kick-starting new types of collaborations and inspiring meaningful, balanced partnerships of tomorrow.

Empowered by individuals, with the connections and capacity to do something on a hemispheric level, Partners is perfectly and uniquely positioned to bring about the real-world change we so desperately need. As you read through this year’s report, we hope you’ll be inspired, too.

6 A Legacy That Connects Communities

Our mission to connect, serve and change lives begins with our network. It’s how we address overcrowding in poor prison conditions in Uruguay, help autistic children in Bolivia and promote language programs across the hemisphere. The connections we make with organizations, communities, governments, institutions and others undergird everything we do—each program we launch, each exchange we conduct.

For the Partners Network, 2013 was a take-off year. Fresh from an era of learning and building, we opened the doors to new ventures—from new YouthLead programs to lucrative grants. Many small successes ultimately coalesced, propelling leadership exchange programs forward. As an organization, we held more events in 2013 than ever, secured over $23 million in U.S. government grants and employed funds to concretize ideas across borders.

After nearly a decade working on criminal justice reform in Uruguay, Partners’ dedication has paid off. In July 2013, the Conference on Alternatives to Incarceration—the first-ever international conference on prison reform in Latin America—continued our efforts to address prison overcrowding. More than 100 people are now enrolled in Uruguay’s pilot probation program.

The year was also about how we work together—establishing new forms of affiliation and opening up our channels to engage with new types of private-sector organizations, public-private partnerships and governments.

For example, in Bolivia our on-the-ground partners have begun to collaborate with one another. Now, when volunteers travel to work on our Bolivia Autism project, they can engage with many groups working toward common goals in autism and adaptive design. Authentic, organic relationships like this define Partners—and are how we envision impact that extends beyond formal North-South links.

Through both formal and informal partnerships, the Partners Network in 2013 leveraged its legacy of resources to sustain collaboration and create lasting, impactful success stories.

Our Minnesota-Uruguay Partners made the Uruguay prison reform conference possible.

Our North Carolina-Cochabamba Partners run the Bolivia Autism project.

2013 Featured Partnership: This year, we continued our critical partnership with Bi-National Centers (BNCs), non-profit organizations across Latin America that seek to promote mutual understanding through educational and cultural programs. Our 50th Anniversary celebration in Brazil is being held in conjunction with the Association of Bi-National Centers of Latin America.

Partners Language Programs: Our Biggest Dive YetSucceed, scale and spread opportunity to all communities—this is our vision. In 2013, Partners built on decades of education experience to work effectively toward this vision through the new Teach English Colombia initiative, a partnership with Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje SENA. We sent the largest single group of English language volunteers for the longest targeted engagement in our history. Our teachers were well supported by Partners’ volunteer experts from Oregon, Costa Rica and Bogotá, as well as by our strategic partner Heart for Change and the many Teachers-In-Residence who have traveled with us over the years.

Renewed for Innovation: Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas (ECPA) Fellows ProgramRenewed by the State Department for another two years, the Senior ECPA Fellows Program will move beyond technical assistance and into climate and energy innovation—awarding two committed fellows grants to pursue activities in these areas. In 2013, 16 ECPA Fellows visited Latin America to work with different governments, and an Earth Day webinar addressed the topics of renewable energy and sustainable urban planning.

Strengthening Government Capacity and Transparency: The Legislative Fellows ProgramThe Legislative Fellows Program works with people, institutions and communities to engage government officials and civil society leaders in the legislative process, strengthening national capacity and advancing transparency and accountability. In its second year, 60 Fellows from 8 countries in Latin America, the Caribbean and the U.S. completed their fellowships with counterpart organizations and institutions.

“Being part of the Legislative Fellows Program was worth every second and continues to reward both my profes-

sional and personal life … I am able to apply what I learned

and bring tangible changes to public policy in Paraguay that will help adolescents who are

in conflict with the law.” – Andres Vazquez, Legislative

A Legacy That Inspires Sustainability

“Every time you give me

knowledge, it is better for me. I enrich my mind

and my family. … I do not want to

be stuck, I want to

move forward.”– Alberto Ordóñez

Partners was one of the earliest organizations to implement Farmer-to-Farmer— and the program is one of our two longest-running at Partners.

Dairy farmer Alberto Ordóñez runs an 80-acre operation in Rivas, Nicara-gua. His family’s livelihood depends on their farm, so when their cattle’s health began declining, he knew something had to be done—and soon. In 2010, Alberto reached out for help, and over the next three years, Farmer-to-Farmer volunteers from a variety of states visited multiple times, sharing their own best practices for cattle health and reproduc-tion, natural resource management and grain storage. By 2013, Alberto had experienced a $9,288 increase in his household annual income.

Through the Farmer-to-Farmer Program, volunteers gave Alberto the knowledge and technical skills to shift his production practices, improve the overall sanitation of his milking operation, utilize silage for feeding and transform his family’s economic livelihood.

In Nicaragua and beyond, the USAID-funded Farmer-to-Farmer Program blends technical training with person-to-person connections. It’s one of the ways the program—as well as all of our Agriculture and Food Security (AFS) efforts—enables tremendous yet personalized impact.

For the AFS team, 2013 was a year of substantial—and sustain-able—growth. Farmer-to-Farmer successfully completed its previous five-year contract in a major way, exceeding all targets we had set for ourselves. Then, after winning Farmer-to-Farmer’s largest-ever award—$8 million—we kick-started our next five-year contract. While simultaneously formulating and implementing these two con-tracts, AFS leveraged its years of experience to begin an entirely new program: the Haiti Nutrition Security Program.

By adding new areas of focus, Partners continually addresses many of today’s hot-button issues including agriculture, climate change and now health and food security.

In the most recent five-year grant, Partners sent 594 volunteers to the field— by far the most of all organizations to implement Farmer-to-Farmer worldwide.

“Farmer-to-Farmer has helped me

send all my kids to school.

I didn’t think it could help me take care

of my family, but now I am taking care

of other families.”– Farmer-to-Farmer

beneficiary, Haiti

Integrating Health, Nutrition and Livelihoods in Haiti From planting your own garden to properly washing hands—group lessons on topics like these show how Partners is working to change health behaviors in Haiti on the community level.

Agriculture and Food Security’s new $12 million Haiti Nutrition Security Program (NSP), launched in 2013, is funded by the USAID Feed the Future Initiative. It takes a grassroots approach to ushering 20,000 Haitian women through care group models on good food, nutrition and livelihood behaviors. Partners is also expanding capacity into the new areas of health and nutrition—deliberately integrating the fields of agriculture and food security.

Building on a Foundation of Results 2008-2013 Farmer-to-Farmer by the Numbers

Farmer-to-Farmer responds to needs that communities identify themselves, and we aim to build long-term relationships. Many of our volunteers stay with us for decades and forge friendships with their counterparts around the world, sharing knowledge wherever their paths take them. This crafts a legacy that extends beyond program funding.

A Legacy of Enduring Service

“The meaning of A Ganar for me is commitment and

solidarity with society. It gives you the opportunity

to change your life and you have to promise

that you are going to fight for your dreams.”

– Sebastian Nacarato, Uruguay

Carina grew up in a Dominican Republic neighborhood plagued with unemployment, violence and drugs. As a result of community pressures, she dropped out of high school. After joining A Ganar, however, she re-enrolled in school, obtained her degree and is now in college studying education. Thanks to the skills learned through the workforce development program, she’s been hired as an administrative assistant at a local NGO that helps disadvantaged youth.

A Ganar encourages service learning through sport, and stories like Carina’s from all corners of our network make the program an enduring gift to youth and communities throughout the Americas. This year, we gave youth more responsibility than ever before to develop projects that would combine job training with service learning.

“Tequio” takes offOur participants in Mexico have started viewing—and doing—community service in a whole new light. The term Tequio, which roughly translates to “gift” in the Nahuatl language, took hold among youth, who now approach community service through the lens of sharing their own gifts with others.

These and other efforts boosted the legacy of A Ganar community service. Even in trying times, the only way to transform communities is to stay present, showing the legacy of service to build the future. A Ganar continued work in some of the most dangerous cities in the world, tackling big challenges facing youth. This year, we kicked off programs in Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago, emphasizing results in education such as improved grades, attendance and school conduct.

A Ganar continues to grow, with over 13,000 youth in 17 countries participating in activities since 2005. That includes more than 2,100 youth who began in 2013.

55% of youth registered in A Ganar activities in USAID countries are female.

“A Ganar has served as a platform to launch my future.” – Carina Brito Sierra, Dominican Republic

Collaborating for accomplishmentThe A Ganar program continually collaborates with local, national and international organizations. For example, A Ganar works with USAID and the IDB for implementation in multiple countries, with USAID and Social Impact for impact evaluation in Central America, and with the One World Futbol Project to distribute thousands of their indestructible soccer balls to youth throughout the region.

Our dogged pursuit of teamwork has resulted in winning results: A Ganar was nominated for a Beyond Sport Award and hosted a ceremony with the Honduran President, the U.S. Ambassador to Honduras and over 200 A Ganar youth to celebrate the A Ganar Honduras launch. The International Olympic Committee also recognized A Ganar for its impact on the most at-risk youth.

San Pedro Sula, Honduras, a 2013 A Ganar site, currently has the highest murder rate in the world. A Ganar offers youth an alternative to gang life and violence.

A Ganar helps at-risk youth in

some of the most dangerous places

in the world achieve a positive identity,

security and the opportunity

to transform their lives.

A Legacy That Inspires Future Leaders

“This experience has marked my life in a positive way, pushing me with great force and strength to work each day not only to reach

my dreams but also to reach the dreams of others.”

– Paula Andrea Montoya Galvis, YouthLead SENA Participant

Before McKenzie left on her American Youth Leadership Program to Paraguay, she was both nervous and excited to learn about a community outside of her North Carolina home. After living with a host family in Paraguay for three weeks, she noticed she was beginning to see her community back home and the world differently. In Paraguay she learned about service, leadership and the meaning of mutual understanding.

“This program opens your mind up to another world out there,” she said. “You realize there are opportunities in places you’d never imag-ined or considered going.” McKenzie was just one of a diverse group of 17 youth and three mentors from across the U.S. who had traveled to Paraguay, all of whom experienced changed perspectives.

“It’s humbling, and you learn so much about yourself,” said Bryton Fett, also on the Paraguay trip. “You learn to work with other people. You learn to be a more group-oriented person and to take care of each other.”

These reactions are common among youth returning from Partners’ exchange and leadership programs: lives are changed, worldviews broadened and passions for service ignited.

More 2013 youth program highlights include:

Youth Ambassadors (YA) program: A year of firsts materialized for the program with a new round of YA starting in Venezuela and local Peruvian youth organizing the first Andean Region Youth Ambassadors Summit.

For the second year, the U.S. Embassy in Bogotá selected the Youth Colom-bian Leaders Network—supported by Partners youth, RED2021 youth vol-unteers, YA mentors and local Partners chapters—to organize the National Convention for Volunteer Leaders and U.S. Exchange Alumni.

YouthLead: As part of the YouthLead Girls Empowerment program, at-tendees from Chile, Mexico, Uruguay, Brazil and the U.S. gathered at the Girls Empowerment Conference to promote girls’ and young women’s participation in all spaces of public life through sharing experiences.

Partners’ Youth Engagement programs focus on four key areas: • Leadership Development• Mutual Understanding• Commitment to Service• Long-term Engagement

Since 2003, more than 900 youth from 17 countries across the Americas have enhanced their leadership skills through the Youth Ambassadors program.

Where are we headed? The answer hinges much on where Partners has been. Our 50-year legacy informs decisions about our priority areas moving forward.

Our ultimate goal is to become the premiere part-nering organization in Latin America. We plan to get there by deepening our investment in key areas over the next decade:

• Sport-for-development and youth employment—Link the sport component with other existing programs improving outreach to high-risk youth. By focusing on additional support and nurturing environments, we will help youth land jobs as well as succeed in life. We will also apply lessons learned in sport to violence prevention and health programs.

• Agriculture and food security—Sustain our exist-ing programs and continue to integrate agricultur-al development, food security, nutrition and health in our work and utilize people-to-people connec-tions. We will also mobilize our growing network of volunteers, organizations and universities to address climate change and natural resource management issues. Goal: Expand to new coun-tries in LAC, add additional related technical proj-ects and mobilize public and private resources.

• Climate and energy—Grow our network of climate change scientists, higher education institutions and the agencies where they work. By collaborating, we’re better situated to address the issues of climate change and emergency preparedness.

• Professional fellowships—Increase sustainable relationships with professionals and organizations in diverse communities. As our network grows, we’ll encourage more effective engagement and enactment in civil society, government and the legislative process.

• Combating child labor—Mobilize government agencies, higher education institutions and NGOs to collaborate on methods of intervention and best practices in eliminating child labor.

• Youth leadership and exchanges—Engage millen-nials to be service leaders by better understanding how they view our hemisphere politically and culturally. We want to know what service means to them and how they connect with a network like Partners, so we’re working to provide them with guidance, learning and service opportunities, while minimizing bureaucracy.

• 100,000 Strong in the Americas—Strengthen U.S. relations with southern countries by creating new partnerships with universities and the private sector. By expanding education and high-tech resources, we’ll increase student mobility and enhance educational exchanges.

• Language programs—Mobilize volunteers to teach language across the hemisphere. We see language training as another critical element to connecting the hemisphere—and key to the exchange of students through 100,000 Strong.

The more we integrate our network, the greater our impact will be. Progress takes time, but with our 360-degree view of development—one that com-bines our history with the volunteer perspectives of today—we believe improvement can happen a lot more effectively. To us, it’s more than simply tal-lying up numbers, results or partners; it’s adopting an attitude and lifestyle of service today and into the next 50 years.

A Legacy To Propel Us Forward

The more we integrate our network, the greater our impact will be.

Partners Foundation Financial Statements

EndowmentsPartners of the Americas’ endowment consists of donor-restricted endowment funds and funds designated by the Board of Directors to function as endowments. As re-quired by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), net assets associated with endowment funds, including funds designated by the Board of Directors to function as endowments, are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. The Foundation is audited annually in accordance with the audit of Partners of the Americas, Inc.

Beginning in 2013, the Partners of the Americas Foundation began holding funds to be granted to institutions of higher education as a part of President Obama’s 100,000 Strong in the Americas initiative. These funds are granted to colleges and universities committed to helping more of their students study abroad, as students that study abroad are often more prepared to meet the challenges of a global workforce.

Partners of the Americas is working in partnership with NAFSA: Association of In-ternational Educators and the U.S. Department of State as we advance the goal of at least 100,000 students traveling to and from the United States yearly.
