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.”
