The American Council of Young Political Leaders (ACYPL) provides US and international young political leaders primarily between the ages of 25 to 40 years old with direct knowledge of political systems in countries around the globe and here in the United States. ACYPL’s main programs are reciprocal international political study tours that are usually between 10 and 14 days in length. ACYPL also participates in international conferences, parliamentary exchanges, leadership development programs, and US congressional study fellowships. ACYPL receives an annual grant from the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the US Department of State to conduct its study tours; in addition, ACYPL relies on support from foundations, corporations, program alumni, and its overseas partners.

Current ACYPL programs include the following:

Bilateral Exchanges

Cairo University Model US Congress Program
