Partnership International's History & Founding Board

Founded in 1990, under the direction of Sargent R. Shriver (founder and first Director of the Peace Corps, US Ambassador to France, and founder of the Job Corps), the mission of Partnership International is to promote international collaboration between people for a better world. Partnership International's projects and mission has slightly changed over the years, but continues to reflect the same vision of Sargent Shriver. We aim to provide assistance between nations and their people for a better world by giving people the infrastructure needed to make their world better. Based on his brother-in-law John F. Kennedy's famous statement: "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country;" Partnership International has taken this statement a step further by extending it beyond nations, and asking all citizens of the world to give a helping hand to improve our collective future.
