The Young Leaders program convenes a vibrant and highly selective group of French and American professionals whose common link is their demonstrated leadership and passion for forging bonds in a globalized world. Young Leaders, hailing from a diverse array of sectors, attend two 5-day seminars over the course of two years, one year in France and one year in the United States. Participants come together to engage in pertinent dialogue around issues of common concern for France and the US, meet with local and global experts, and get to know one another. The Foundation covers the travel and lodging expenses of the Young Leaders for the two seminars.
