DescEWB-USA programs are full partnerships with a host community and one or more local nongovernmental organizations. EWB-USA's 9,500 members work alongside local community members to design and build each project, while equipping them to operate and maintain the project for years to come. EWB-USA members are in remote corners of the world working hard to make EWB-USA's vision a reality. As a result of EWB-USA's ongoing projects, children can cross sturdy bridges to attend school, local clinics have consistent supplies of electricity, and accessing clean water isn't a full-day chore for families. In 2019, student chapters received 18,367 donated professional mentor hours on projects. The value of these in-kind services is included in the 2019 audited financial statements in the amount of $1,836,700 but it is not included in Part IX of the Form 990.Desc

DescIn 2019, EWB-USA's highly-skilled volunteers worked on 452 engineering projects in 39 countries impacting the lives of 1,014,342 people. More than 9,500 volunteers gained access to vetted project and service opportunities, coaching and guidance from humanitarian engineering experts, and the resources to enhance their technical and interpersonal skills. Service learning trips equipped 1,220 volunteers with the opportunity to take their skills to the next level. Regional and national conferences offered 908 attendees a space to gather and share ideas, build skills, and celebrate the impact EWB-USA's volunteers and supporters are having across the globe. In 2019, our field operations in Nicaragua, Guatemala and Uganda continued to improve the quality, efficiency, and sustainability of our projects by providing invaluable assistance to communities looking to partner with EWB-USA. With increased access to educational opportunities, our volunteers were able to participate in over 1,400 courses and trainings.Desc
