WAC - Get Involved

Students

Are you a middle or high school student in Northern California or Minnesota? Participating in the WAC is a great way to build your resume for college and work with your friends to learn more about global issues. If you’re interested in forming a team at your school, talk to your teachers or fill out an interest form and a member of World Savvy’s staff will help you get started.

Teachers

Do you work with 6-12th graders in Northern California or Minnesota? Offering the WAC as an in-class or after-school project is a great way to educate and engage your students in community and world affairs. World Savvy offeres standards-aligned curriculum, traning and ongoing support to help you bring this program to your students. If you’re interested in becoming a World Affairs Challenge coach, fill out an interest form and a member of World Savvy’s staff will help you get started.

Volunteers

We rely on support from volunteers to make the World Affairs Challenge run smoothly. Volunteers judge student presentations, proctor classrooms and help with logistics to make the day run smoothly. If you are interested in volunteering your time on Challenge Day or helping World Savvy prepare for the Challenge in the weeks leading up to it, please fill out an interest form and a member of our staff will be in touch.

Sponsors

Thanks to the generous support of local businesses and community members in the form of monetary or in-kind donations of food, gift certificates and other prizes, we are able to reward students and thank our volunteers for their time and commitment. Making a donation to World Savvy for this exciting program is a great opportunity to introduce potential new customers to your company and show your support for students as they develop into active and responsible global citizens. World Savvy will recognize your generosity by putting your name in our World Affairs Challenge™ Event Program as well as acknowledging the donation in our newsletter (reaching over 2500 people) and on our website. If you are interested in sponsoring the World Affairs Challenge, please contact Edward Wang.
