The World Affairs Council of Dallas Fort Worth’s Global Young Leaders (GYL) is an education program that creates an intelligent pathway for North Texas high school students to achieve ambitions in international careers. The GYL program is facilitated through clubs on high school campuses called Junior World Affairs Councils, which are available to public, private, charter, and home school students.

Each year, more than 9,000 students and 1,000 teachers are directly impacted by the GYL program. It’s the only education initiative in the region focused on global competence, with Junior World Affairs Council clubs on 65+ local high school campuses.

The teacher advisory group is made up of our most involved teachers and helps direct our education programming offerings. We provide the advisory group dinner twice per year as we hear what is happening and needed in area schools. If you are an active JWAC sponsor that would like to participate, please let us know!
