Willamette-Laja Twinning Partnership

The Willamette-Laja Twinning Partnership is an international partnership between organizations in the Willamette Basin and those in the basin of the Rio Laja in Mexico. The partnership focuses on environmental restoration, youth education, and cross-cultural exchange. It began in 2015 and has since broadened into several programs, including the Peer Mentor program and K-12 teacher exchanges.
