Americans Working Around The Globe

AWAG is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is building leaders to strengthen and connect communities around the globe. The purpose of AWAG is to train, strengthen and connect American-affiliated communities around the globe through hosting leadership development training, promoting volunteerism, and providing networking opportunities. The AWAG Annual Leadership and Training Seminar and Area Seminars provide a forum where spouses, service members, civilians, and retirees can train, network and generate new ideas for personal and professional growth. Founded in 1946, AWAG has spread throughout Germany and across Europe, growing and changing as our community changes. Hundreds of participants have gathered annually to share ideas and develop skills to enhance their communities. The AWAG Board of Governors is comprised of dedicated professional volunteers motivated by our mission. They represent American military communities within the European footprint enabling AWAG to keep abreast of relevant issues that require training and support. AWAG hosts one-day seminars in each regional area, open to the entire community. A four-day Annual Leadership & Training Seminar is held each spring to provide training for both personal and professional growth.
