- OUR MISSION - 

We exist to train young global leaders through education, social advocacy,
​and global relationships.

In 2013, Operation Wisdom started as a handful of students and educators who desired to learn how to become better global citizens. Today, we are an education-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a student-majority Board of Directors and hundreds of members across North Carolina.

Young people should be at the forefront of global change and innovation. Empowered, they can be key agents for development and peace.
If, however, they are left on society's margins, all of us will be impoverished.

- OUR WORK -

​Wisdom, according to Webster’s Dictionary, is defined as: "the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment." To achieve our mission, Operation Wisdom runs three unique learning programs. Each one focuses on one of the three elements of wisdom:

Experience: The Trip

Knowledge: The Class

Good Judgment: The Club

- OUR PARTNERS - 

At the very heart of our program lies the secret to our success: an extensive global network of amazing organizations, institutions, and communities that help teach our students what compassion and critical thinking looks like in a global context.
