WSCA maintains and improves professional standards in the field of counseling as well as encouraging creative and experimental activities in the field. WSCA hosts a variety of programs annually, including General Membership Meetings, Fall and Spring College and Career Fairs for high school juniors and seniors in Suffolk County, and an Employment Day program geared to students entering the work world after high school graduation.
