Our Mission
We work to cultivate an informed public—one that feels welcome to learn, connect, and engage in respectful dialogue and critical thinking on global issues. By fostering a deeper understanding of international affairs and how they affect our community, we create meaningful opportunities for learning in a relaxed, inclusive environment. Through these connections, we help strengthen national security, economic prosperity, and global stability—starting right here at home.
