The World Affairs Council is now accepting applications to join our 2017-2018 Fellows Program, a unique professional development opportunity to learn about current global issues from international experts and connect with local Seattle business and community leaders who share an interest in international affairs.

Register now to join a guided nine-day tour of Cuba hosted by World Affairs Council President and CEO Jacqueline Miller. This trip will be held at an even more pivotal time in Cuba-U.S. relations and as general travel to the island nation is likely to become more difficult. This trip is so far unaffected by the administration's recent announcement and, by partnering with a registered travel company operating "people-to-people" educational programs, will work to fulfill additional requirements as they are instituted.

World Learning, one of our national program partners, discusses our work and the role international exchanges play in the Seattle community.

Are you interested in expanding your world through welcoming international visitors? We consistently bring in both professional and youth international leaders who are seeking a host family for their time in Seattle.

In light of President Trump's recent statement and directive reinstating travel restrictions to Cuba, we want to provide an update regarding the World Affairs Council November trip to Cuba. At this time, it does not appear that our program will be impacted.
