School Outreach
|
Mark Walchak, Chair
We've wrapped up another gratifying successful year of School Outreach programs at NCWA with a wide range of activities, from Academic World Quest competitions for middle and high school students, to scholarship alumni finding success in their college careers, to selection of an Educator of the Year -- and certainly not least of all, to note that students are preparing their journeys to study in the U.S. and abroad this summer.
Inside the pages of the School Outreach section, you will find reports and photos of all of these activities and more. Special thanks go to the large number of volunteer members of NCWA who made it all happen! We are pleased to offer support to the promising futures of the many students and to the outstanding and dedicated educators that we have been privileged to meet along the way.

School Outreach Committee
The Naples Council on World Affairs formalized an Outreach Program in 2000 to initiate involvement with local schools, both public and independent in the belief that promoting knowledge and understanding of global affairs and issues among young people is of vital importance to our country.
The Naples Council on World Affairs formalized an Outreach Program in 2000 to initiate involvement with local schools, both public and independent in the belief that promoting knowledge and understanding of global affairs and issues among young people is of vital importance to our country.
Over these past years, the Council’s Outreach Programs have increased dramatically from simply having its lecturers speak at Collier County schools, to offering a wide variety of programs detailed in the pages that follow. The volunteer Council members who comprise the Outreach Committee meet regularly during the season and virtually over the summer to plan and execute Outreach activities.
As overseen by the School Outreach Committee, the Naples Council on World Affairs sends Naples high school students to two summer scholarship programs:
-
Outstanding junior students from Naples high schools travel overseas through the Experiment in International Living and Student Diplomacy Corps programs to broaden their experience and understanding of global issues, culture and politics.
-
Talented students attend summer academies on international affairs and national security at Georgetown University and American University in Washington D.C.
Please watch and listen to some of these talented youngsters who attended programs in prior years as they reflect on what those experiences meant to them
