The Santa Fe Council on International Relations is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to broadening public understanding of international affairs and to promoting "grassroots diplomacy." Through discussions, lectures, seminars, travel opportunities, student outreach activities and international visitor meetings, we fulfill our mission to engage our community in world affairs. Each activity provides fun, social exchange and a broadening of international knowledge and understanding. Our international visitors reach us through an arrangement with the U.S. State Department and other organizations; we regularly host over 250 such visitors annually with targeted meetings and discussions on a wide variety of subjects in addition to home stays, home hospitality (dinners) and receptions.
