Some of the issues KWIC works on are:
-Environment
-Hunger and Food
-Poverty
-Women's issues
-Sustainable Development
-Human Rights
-North-South linkages

KWIC's program currently focuses on environmental and social justice issues, particularly environmental racism, climate change and food, and with a focus on youth engagement.
