Who is on duty?
- Counselors (levels 1 & 2) lead small-group discussions, guide simulations, accompany delegates between venues, and model leadership and respect.
- Senior Staff coach counselors, help with complex situations, and coordinate daily operations.
- Registered Nurses oversee day-to-day health needs, first aid, and care coordination.
Training & Screening
All counselors complete pre-seminar training and follow WAS policies covering youth protection, conduct, and emergency procedures.
(Background and reference checks are part of our standard onboarding.)
Communication & Privacy
Have questions before or during the seminar?
Contact the WAS office at contact@WorldAffairsSeminar.org. We respect family privacy and do not share personal, health, or financial information except by signed authorization.
Health & Wellness
Our on-site nursing team handles routine needs and first aid, and partners with local care providers if additional treament is required. Families will be contacted when appropriate.
Safety, supervision & daily structure
- Counselors attend all sessions with delegates, facilitate floor meetings, and help with check-in/check-out.
- The team implements and enforces rules consistently and respectfully, with clear escalation to Senior Staff and Nurses when needed.
