Global Perspectives You Will Get Nowhere Else...Come Join Us

Experience unparalleled perspectives on global and national affairs in the Coachella Valley through the World Affairs Council of the Desert. Our organization invites internationally recognized speakers who provide unique insights that are not available anywhere else.
The World Affairs Council is a non-profit, non-partisan association that relies on the support of its members and sponsors. With over 200 members, we are proud to be sponsored by esteemed institutions such as California State University San Bernardino--Palm Desert Campus, UBS Financial Services, Anderson Children's Foundation, County of Riverside, and others. 
This year, our Headliner Dinner/Speaker Series will feature renowned experts who will shed light on the most pressing and relevant topics. We continuously update the event details, ensuring you stay informed.
Preparing students for the rapidly evolving global landscape of the 21st century, we sponsor the Academic WorldQuest Competition. This live and in-person event took place on February 2, 2023, and captured memorable moments. Feel free to view photos of the competition here. The 2024 competition dates will be announced soon.
