The Foreign Policy Initiative understands the importance of cultivating the next generation of foreign policy leaders. Every month, FPI hosts a young professionals event targeted at educating rising leaders on international affairs and connecting them with their peers, as well as with leading foreign policy experts. Ranging in subjects from democracy and human rights to the critical threats our nation faces, these events provide valuable networking and educational experiences for young professionals in Washington, DC and New York City.
