Vermont Council on World Affairs

"I firmly believe that individuals have the right, if not the responsibility, to help shape U.S. foreign relations. The Vermont Council of World Affairs (VCWA) provides us with a platform to be citizen diplomats. Whether welcoming Ambassadors to our State, hosting international visitors, or learning about the global impacts of climate change or immigration policy; we can practice citizen diplomacy. Working together we can bring Vermont to the world and the world to Vermont. Please join us in carrying out the work and fulfilling the mission of VCWA. This mission is more important than ever."

"This organization you’re running is the neatest, most educational, most personally expansive and rewarding of any organization I’ve been involved with, and there have been a ton.”
