The Junior World Affairs Council hosts and participates in a variety of events:
During our meetings on Wednesdays after school, our club stays abreast of current events, hosts guest speakers, plays games, views materials from the World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth and the Foreign Policy Association, and designs materials to promote international awareness at LHHS.
On evenings and weekends, our members participate in the World Affairs Council's Global Young Leaders Program: https://www.dfwworld.org/what-we-do/global-young-leaders
