GLOBAL YOUNG LEADERS

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 8,000 students and 1,500 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 75 local high school campuses.

GYL’s levels of membership include students, educators, campuses, and districts. Student, teacher, or administrator, you are the perfect fit for one of our international opportunities!
