Why Become a Member?

Joining WWAC isn’t just about supporting great programming—it’s also about being part of a global conversation right here in Windham County. As a dues-paying member, you play a pivotal role in sustaining free, high-quality events for the public.

Your membership also supports PeaceJam at Brattleboro Union High School, a US-based global youth organization led by Nobel Peace laureates to mentor students of all ages in peace literacy.

All members are invited to network at monthly Members & Friends Salons, where off-the-record guest speakers share international experiences in an informal group discussion. Refreshments are served.
