Education
We bring the world to classrooms all over North Texas, and we help send students out to the world to learn, challenge the status quo, and change it for the better. We call it the Global Young Leaders program, and each year it reaches an average of 6,000 students, approaching 1,000 teachers, and over 60 schools across North Texas.

The generosity of these corporations, foundations, organizations, and individuals enables the Council to provide international awareness enrichment impacting North Texas students and educators. Through expert speaker forums both on and off campus, specialized workshops for teachers, topical student forums from human rights to international careers, cultural events, travel, award programs, high school Junior World Affairs Council clubs, and the Academic WorldQuest competition, the Council could not fulfill the extent of this work without their support.
