In 2023, five alumni of ACYPL exchanges to Japan traveled back on a special trip celebrating 50 years of exchanges with our partner, the Japan Center for International Exchange (@JCIE_org). #ACYPLat60

You never know who you’ll run into on an ACYPL exchange! In 1985, President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan greeted a delegation of Australian leaders as they visited the White House. #ACYPLat60

Just wrapped up an exchange to Argentina, where a bipartisan American delegation traveled to Buenos Aires & Mendoza, met @USAmbassadorARG, visited with governors & mayors, & discussed topics from energy to security. Thanks to @FURPlata & @StateDept for making this possible! 🇺🇸🇦🇷

A sneak peek from our exchange in Argentina! 🇺🇸🇦🇷 Our bipartisan delegation from across the United States kicked off the week with a meeting with U.S. Ambassador to Argentina Peter Lamelas — a fitting start to a week of high-level conversations. Stay tuned for more updates!

We had a blast in Chicago joining our friends at @StatesideAssoc for a reception during NCSL & hosting a Board meeting to plan our work for the year ahead. It was great connecting with so many alumni and friends new and old and chatting about the power of bipartisan exchanges!

Just wrapped an exchange with emerging leaders from Australia! In DC, they met with alum @RepJimCosta & discussed issues from energy to immigration, before traveling to Boise & Fresno for meetings with @GovernorLittle & local officials, tours of farms & companies, & more! 🇺🇸🇦🇺

Our exchanges often offer the chance to connect with political leaders from around the world who go onto important leadership positions. In 1973, an American delegation was interviewed on Japanese television with eventual Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi (seated far left). #ACYPLat60

Just wrapped up an outbound exchange to Northern Ireland, with 6 emerging American leaders meeting with members of @niassembly from multiple parties, observing Question Time, touring Giant’s Causeway, & discussing issues from public safety to economic development!

ACYPL is excited to celebrate America's 250th birthday! We're proud to have shown off the best of America to leaders from around the world — & strengthened our own leaders by introducing them to diplomacy and international dialogue through our exchange programs. Happy 250th! 🇺🇸

In 1971, our first American delegation traveled to the then Soviet Union. Delegates included ACYPL founder Spencer Oliver, conservative leader Pat Buchanan, and former Senator Wyche Fowler among others. #ACYPLat60

Just wrapped a @StateDept exchange w/ leaders from Taiwan! In DC they met @SenJohnCurtis, discussed the bilateral relationship at @TECRO_USA & issues from rail to ag. In CO, they were hosted by @MeghanLukens, met @denversmayor, toured a ranch, & visited Steamboat Springs🇺🇸🇹🇼
