Defending and extending freedom around the world
Empowering globally engaged United States public service leaders
Freedom means dignity, opportunity, and participation for all people, safeguarded by strong democratic institutions and sustained through global cooperation.
In today’s era of complex global challenges, this work is more important than ever. We are investing in the capabilities of a new generation of leaders with the integrity, vision, and commitment to carry this mission forward.
