World Affairs Council of New Hampshire

The World Affairs Council of New Hampshire was founded in 1954 as a way to inform people about what was really going on in the world during the Cold War. The need for direct, unbiased, information has never been so important in our post truth world.  Your support of our organization will allow us to continue to center ourselves at the forefront of global conversations by bringing top level scholars, diplomats, journalists, and authors to New Hampshire to provide their knowledge and understanding to our citizens.  Your support will also help us to expand our High School Diplomacy Simulation programs to more schools across the state. Having worked with 550 students already this year, we aim to reach 1,000 in academic year 2024-2025. 

We appreciate all the support our members and donors have given us over the years and are excited to continue those efforts well into the future.
