Citizenship, Advocacy & Faithfulness

Washington, DC is the perfect place to gain an in-depth knowledge about the issues you care most about and connect them to your faith in action.

WSC has relationships with a number of excellent speakers and organizations that can help your group better understand many current issues such as immigration, hunger, human trafficking, and how to lobby effectively as citizens.  Talk to us about your interests. If there are specific topics you are interested in learning more about, please let us know!

Some seminars are free where others involve a fee, typically $250 – $400.  This translates to $10 – $20 per participant, depending on your group size.  If there is a fee involved, it is directly payable to the individual or organization presenting the seminar.

Groups that are not staying overnight but would like us to arrange one of these seminars as a daytime event are charged an additional $200 for use of the space, payable to the Washington Seminar Center.

The WSC coordinator is happy to discuss ideas and options with you and to provide contact information to help you arrange these speakers and workshops as a part of your program.

If you want to ground your time in Washington with reflections from your own faith tradition, the WSC is a great facility. Approximately 40 Christian Bibles are available for groups to use. If you are from another faith tradition, the WSC would welcome donations of your scriptures for placement in the WSC.
