WACA

The World Affairs Council of Hilton Head is a member of the World Affairs Councils of America, the largest nonpartisan, non-profit grassroots organization in the United States dedicated to educating and engaging the American public on global issues. Over 500,000 people a year benefit from the network programming, including members and participants through the network of local World Affairs Councils throughout the United States.

The World Affairs Councils of America has a long and storied history that stretches back some 90 years. Today, the WACA national office works to develop new program opportunities to distribute to member councils.  This includes a variety of national program series, an annual national conference, five flagship programs, Leadership Missions to other countries, and other opportunities.

In addition to providing program opportunities, the WACA acts as the central hub for the council network, connecting councils with resources, opportunities, and of course, with each other. Councils often turn to the WACA for assistance with capacity building and organizational development. The WACA staff visit several councils every year and work hard to help councils accomplish their goals.
