Core Activities

Through our programs, we are united by a single mandate: to cultivate America’s next generation of global leaders capable of navigating a multilateral century.

Global Civic Literacy

Empowering youth civic leadership through global education, dialogue, and hands‑on engagement

Global Community Engagement

Inspiring youth to help shape a world capable of meeting the challenges of tomorrow by knowing their role as a global citizen is to recognize your power — the power to learn, to build, to protect, to connect, and to lead globally.

Global Citizenship

Helping prepare future ready leaders

America 250 Global Civic Youth Fellowship

The America 250 Global Civic Youth Fellowship is a premier national leadership program preparing exceptional young Americans—and their global peers—to shape the civic future of the United States at its 250‑year milestone. Designed as a flagship initiative of the Semiquincentennial era, the Fellowship equips youth (ages 16–22) with the civic literacy, global awareness, ethical leadership, and community‑building skills required to steward America’s next civic chapter. The Fellowship stands at the intersection of national renewal, global citizenship, and youth diplomacy, positioning participants as architects of America’s civic future.

America 250 NextGen Civic Innovators Program

The America 250 NextGen Civic Innovators Program (NCIP) is a high‑prestige, elite leadership initiative for emerging civic leaders under 40. It is engineered as a strategic engine of national renewal, preparing a new generation of innovators capable of redesigning civic life, modernizing governance, and shaping America’s trajectory for the next 250 years.

NCIP is not a training program. It is a leadership forge. It convenes the most promising thinkers, builders, and public‑minded professionals of their generation and equips them with the intellectual, strategic, and ethical tools required to lead at scale—locally, nationally, and globally.

The Next America 250 Youth Civic Congress

The America 250 Youth Civic Congress is a national, future‑focused convening designed to prepare young Americans to lead the next era of civic life. As the nation reaches its 250th anniversary, this Congress positions youth at the center of democratic renewal, civic responsibility, and national leadership.

The Congress strengthens civic literacy, expands youth leadership pathways, and builds a generation capable of shaping America’s next chapter with integrity, knowledge, and purpose

US Governor Global Civic Connect

US Governor Global Civic Connect is a national convening that brings current and former governors together to exchange insights that advance the Foreign Policy 250 Forum’s global civic education mission. Designed as a high‑level leadership dialogue, the event strengthens America’s civic foundations, deepens global systems awareness, and mobilizes state‑level executive experience to support national civic renewal.
