Community Impact
The UWC embraces social responsibility and believes in utilizing its resources, including the will and expertise of its Members, to further not only their charitable interests, but also the welfare and interests of the broader community. The Club has created a forum for Members to share their interests through the newsletter, email exchanges, the Membership directory, and personal interaction.
Recent community impact initiatives have centered around supporting the young people of the Orquesta de Los Barrios, which seeks to promote the intellectual and artistic development of youth from under-resourced communities. The Orquesta de los Barrios comprises 18 young musicians from 18 to 22 years of age, who were selected by Maestro Néstor Tedesco from over 1,600 alumni of the Orquestas Infanto Juveniles program of the City of Buenos Aires. The UWC helps to raise funds for the orchestra by organizing benefit concerts by the young musicians and collecting donated instruments for them, as well as arranging sponsored scholarships for their musical training.
