Alwaleed Philanthropies, chaired by Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Al-Saud, signed two memorandums of cooperation (MoC) with the World Scouting, to support women and youth involvement in scouting locally and internationally, and encourage greater participation in community volunteering within the higher education sector. The collaboration will support the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 goal of rallying 1 million individuals to volunteer per year.
The partnership agreements aim to align volunteering programs in Saudi universities with the framework of the World Scouting as well as prepare students to participate in nonprofit development projects. Furthermore, the programs will work to improve community engagement by forging partnerships with third-party institutions within the community to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.
