UWC Afghanistan is a volunteer-led group dedicated to selecting and supporting students and their families for the UWC movement. Our members are passionate about education and international understanding, working together to create opportunities for young changemakers.
Our UWC National Committee is made up of individuals who share UWC’s mission and values. These include:
- UWC alumni – UWC former students who have attended UWC schools, bringing firsthand experience of the UWC journey.
- Other volunteers – Supporters of UWC who contribute their time and expertise to help select and guide students.
