Volunteer with Us

Help create a Global Vision for South Carolina while having fun.  Volunteering gives you an opportunity to contribute to your community, interact with local business and academic professionals and build skills for your resume.  

How Volunteering Benefits You

Volunteering provides you the opportunity to network with some of the most interesting people and organizations in the Midlands.

Your "hands on" attitude will help provide engaging programs and activities with a broad international focus.

Students in high school and college may be able to receive class credit or work experience by volunteering with the World Affairs Council of Columbia. Check with your teacher or guidance counselor.

Volunteers are recognized on our web site and at special events.  See the list of some of the volunteers who have helped so far!

Extraordinary volunteers are presented with an award at the World Affairs Council of Columbia's Annual Meeting.  Maybe they will announce your name next year.
