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

Last summer, I had the honor of hosting 7 political leaders from North Macedonia through the @StateDept & @ACYPL. Nearly a year later, I took the reverse trek across the ocean to see their country and political system firsthand. Grateful for the experience and friendships. 🇺🇸🤝🏻🇲🇰
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! 🇺🇸🇦🇷

🇦🇷🤝🇺🇸 Recibimos en ARGinUSA a una delegación del American Council of Young Political Leaders @ACYPL antes de su visita a la Argentina, donde conocerán Buenos Aires y Mendoza junto a la Fundación Universitaria del Río de la Plata (@FURPlata), su contraparte argentina desde hace décadas.
En nuestro país mantendrán encuentros con autoridades claves de la agenda bilateral comercial, inversora, política y cultural.
Durante la reunión conversamos sobre el momento que atraviesa la relación entre nuestros países, un vínculo cada vez más estratégico y de alcance sistémico entre nuestras instituciones, economías y gente.
Un intercambio de larga trayectoria que acerca a las próximas generaciones de líderes de ambos países y fortalece un lazo que seguirá creciendo.
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

So unbelievably grateful to @ACYPL & the @niassembly for a genuinely wonderful week in Northern Ireland.
The agenda was packed with a cross-section of business, religious, law enforcement, political, & cultural leaders that gave us an immersive lens into NI & her people.
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!

We were delighted to welcome delegates from @ACYPL to Parliament Buildings on Thursday for a discussion with Northern Ireland Youth Assembly Members. Thanks for a brilliant exchange of perspectives and experiences.
