UWC Trinidad and Tobago (UWC-TT)
The legal body in T&T is "UWC Trinidad and Tobago" (UWC-TT). We are registered as a non-profit company under the 1995 Company's Act of Trinidad & Tobago, to which all graduates, sponsors, and other interested parties interested in furthering the goals of the UWC are invited to belong through membership. All members have a vote on how the affairs of UWC-TT and in particular the National Committee (the elected officers of UWC-TT) are conducted. UWC-TT has been authorized by the Board of UWC International as the official representative of UWC in Trinidad & Tobago.
Being registered as a non-proft company in Trinidad & Tobago aides transparency and enables sponsors to gain some tax benefits from their contributions.
The purpose of UWC-TT is to work towards that general mission by conducting the following activities:
- promote UWC, its Mission and Vision;
- select student to attend UWC schools, colleges and programmes
- raise funds for students to attend the UWC
- facilitate the networking of graduate students
- support current students
- conduct projects that realize the Mission and Vision of UWC
The values we emphasize through our operations and work towards peace and sustainable future are those of UWC:
- International and intercultural understanding
- Celebration of difference
- Personal responsibility and integrity
- Mutual responsibility and respect
- Compassion and service
- Respect for the environment
- A sense of idealism
- Personal challenge
- Action and personal example
The Director of School Supervision, Ministry of Education, Trinidad & Tobago has granted us official permission to distribute information about the UWC to the schools of Trinidad & Tobago.
