International Young Leaders’ Conference – World Affairs Council of Harrisburg

Annual International Young Leaders Conference

WACH’s summer interns from high schools and colleges throughout the capital region organize the annual young leaders conference that has been held each year in August at Harrisburg University.

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.
