Starting a Council

The World Affairs Councils of America serves nearly 100 Member Councils in 40+ states.

Our newest members, the Baltimore Council on Foreign Affairs and the World Affairs Council of New Jersey, joined in 2019.

There are three paths to membership in the WACA national network:

• Establishing a new World Affairs Council
• Applying as an existing 501(c)(3) organization to become a Council
• Joining our network as an affiliate member organization

Please review our WACA Member Council Benefits and How to Start a World Affairs Council documents.

You may contact us any time at the WACA national office to learn more.
