DescEWB-USA programs are full partnerships with a host community and one or more local nongovernmental organizations. EWB-USA's 14,144 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 right now 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.

The value of these in-kind services is included in the 2017 audited financial statements in the amount of $3,561,900, but it is not included in Part IX of the Form 990.Desc
