Who We Are


InterConnections 21 (IC 21) is a registered 501 c(3) non-profit organization operating out of Wilson, WY. Our mission is to help US schools and communities, particularly in the Northern Rockies, learn about critical world issues and take action. To this end, we have sponsored and led groups of Wyoming students on educational trips to Ecuador, France, Ghana, Mexico, Switzerland and various locations throughout the US. IC 21 is also the sponsoring organization behind Teton County Model UN, a co-sponsor of the UN Student Conference on Human Rights in NYC, the mentoring organization behind Students for Sustainability, and the sponsor of community events featuring speakers such as Ishmael Beah, Valentino Achak Deng, and Paul Farmer. More info is available at www.ic21.org.

Arcadia Service Learning is a Wyoming-registered LLC. Our mission is to provide community service programing for students that integrates social-emotional learning, capacity for leadership, development of character, cultural awareness and empathy. We collaborate with some of the most remote and economically challenged communities in the world, designing and providing sustainable projects that foster meaningful connections for our students and our hosts. Mark Pommer and Yara Abad, the founders of the organization, have led Wyoming students on several service learning projects to Ghana and consulted on similar programming with multiple schools and organizations in the USA.
