Nobody can afford to ignore young people. They are revolutionizing how we interact with institutions.

Any high school student in the PAWAC educational outreach area is invited to participate in the annual Interrnational Essay Contest. The theme is announced in November, with submission due in mid-spring. This essay contest offers terrific preparation for future study in global affairs.
The Illinois State Board of Education supports the Global Scholars Program. High school students should first check with their school to learn more, and then reach out to the Peoria Area World Affairs Council to collaborate on a project.
Bradley University and other local academic institutions also offer outstanding opportunities for students to improve their cultural competencies. Once students identify what their programs needs, contact PAWAC for support.
