LeadNext: Ambassadors for a Global Future

Our dynamic new program focused on global citizenship for the 21st century

LeadNext builds a vibrant network of future leaders aged 18-25 from across Asia and the Pacific, and the United States and supports their growth, impact, and capacity to address today’s greatest challenges.

Exchange between the U.S. and Asia-Pacific is more important than ever

With the profound structural changes that will transform geopolitics, global governance, the global economic order, and social landscape over the next decade, a new generation of globally minded leaders is imperative. The LeadNext program equips emerging leaders across cultures and disciplines with strong international networks, exposure to wide-ranging experiences, and leadership tools to thoughtfully steer the future. This fellowship is fully funded.

Harnessing the innovation and energy of young leaders is essential. Positive and lasting change will depend on leaders who can move ideas and action forward to address rising inequality, find solutions to environmental challenges, mitigate conflict, and empower communities most vulnerable and insecure.
