Windham World Affairs Council

For over six decades, the Windham World Affairs Council has brought the world to Windham County. Our mission is to build community engagement, dialogue, and resilience by helping people better understand our world’s issues and problems. In this way, we hope to contribute to creating a livable, peaceful, better world in which we are better prepared to participate knowledgeably in public affairs and make informed choices in elections and our lives.

We build community engagement, dialogue, and resilience by helping people understand complicated issues that manifest globally and locally. Through ongoing programs such as salons, workshops, and speaker series led by global experts, Nobel Peace laureates, and local leaders, we build intergenerational and cross-cultural social connections creating a more inclusive and engaging community.

WWAC is an independent, nonpartisan organization with an all-volunteer council. We rely on membership dues in order to provide events, free of charge, to the public.

WWAC hosts a Members + Friends Salon on the 4th Wednesday of the month at 118 Elliot, 118 Elliot St., Brattleboro. Please stop by to learn more about becoming involved as a member.
