UWC depends on the dedication and expertise of an active volunteer based network called National Committees (NC). NCs operate in more than 150 countries to recruit, select and prepare students every year to join UWC colleges, schools and short programmes.
UWC Indonesia is a the official representative of UWC in the country. It is a volunteer-led group under the umbrella of “Yayasan UWC Indonesia”, a registered Non-Governmental Organization in Indonesia. We are dedicated to selecting and supporting students to study at UWC colleges. Additionally, we also work closely with the UWC alumni and actively promotes the UWC missions in the country.
Who forms the National Committee?
UWC National Committee is made up of individuals who share UWC’s mission and values. These include UWC graduates, parents of UWC students, educationists, business practitioners and other interested supporters of UWC movement. During the annual student selection process, the National Committee also work with many individuals and parties who contribute to the process in many ways. All members of the National Committee are on voluntary basis.
