Nonprofit Organization Management - Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Engineers Without Borders (EWB), formed in 2000, is one of Canada's most respected development agencies. Launched on university campuses, there are now 34 professional and university chapters with nearly 50,000 members across the country! EWB Vancouver was launched in September 2005 as one of the four original professional chapters.Poverty is the product of broken systems that prevent people from realizing their full potential. Extreme poverty and inequitable development exist because injustices are deeply entrenched in our systems – in behaviours among individuals, within institutions and in the relationships that bind them.EWB is a social change incubator for people, ventures and ideas. We spark and accelerate systemic innovations in Canada and Africa that have the potential to radically disrupt the systems that allow poverty to persist.
