	One World Youth Project an article by Scott Shigeoka, OWYP Partnership Director Video: One World Youth Project As it is exactly a year since I started working for One World Youth Project, I wanted to share a few experiences from the year with you, which were some of most transformational experiences of my personal life and career. From the get-go, I've felt the passion and need to bring this organization and the opportunities it presents to more students around the world. We've come a long way, as we built partnerships with four new universities, recruited 75 exceptional student leaders around the globe and received immense support from our university faculty advisers and peer not-for-profit organizations.

The OWYP team held our annual summer training conference in the beautiful Rugova Valley of Kosovo, bringing together our 12 distinguished university student Fellows from the U.S., Pakistan, Turkey, Guyana and Kosovo. To share in my experience, please spend two minutes watching a video re-cap on the conference, below. You can also read my story on the conference, linked here: http://bit.ly/scottkosovo. We want you to join us in our journey to build a generation of empathetic, discerning and empowered global citizens. I'm proud to be a part of One World Youth Project. I invite you to join us this year as we continue to expand to serve more schools and communities around the globe.
