Congratulations to 2020 Summer Interns on a Successful Young Leaders Conference!

SUMMER 2020: Young Voices on Pandemic & Protest

International Young Leaders “Zoom” Conference

6-8:30 pm Tuesday, Aug. 11 — ZOOM WEBINAR

Interns with the World Affairs Council of Harrisburg shared their perspectives on the summer of 2020. Thousands of deaths, hundreds of thousands of sick, economic shutdown and protests against racism around the world — this summer has been both historic and unprecedented.

Our Mission

The World Affairs Council of Harrisburg is affiliated with the World Affairs Councils of America based in Washington, D.C. It is part of a national network of influential councils dedicated to educating and engaging the residents of our region in global issues. Our associates meet and interact with leading international writers, intellectuals, diplomats and political leaders, and we are dedicated to making these opportunities available to youth in our region, as well.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that. "Martin Luther King, Jr.”
