Our local branches are called Circles, a tradition to emphasize the non-hierarchical nature of these groups. Circles organize various events, some of them suitable for whole-family outings. Read the Network page for more information. Non-members are usually welcome at events.

WES has student groups in some universities - the list of exactly which universities changes as students come and go.

WES has another local category, Clusters. These make up a two-way information system which fans out to every WES member. Information for things like surveys can be fed to and from everybody by using the local volunteer who is the designated Cluster Contact, and they also provide a mechanism to share purely local news. A Cluster may choose to hold an occasional face-to-face get-together. Read more about Clusters and Circles.

WES members can ask the WES office for a copy of the membership list. This enables people to find WES contacts locally, or with a similar background or current position.
