The 2023 Young Leaders Program Application Window is Now Open!
The U.S. Spain Council Has Opened the Application Period to Join the 2023 Cohort of Our Marquee Cultural Exchange Program.
Since 2001, the Young Leaders Program has been the U.S. Spain Council’s flagship programming, bringing young American leaders to Spain with the goal of familiarizing them with the social, cultural, economic, and political realities of contemporary Spain, and to foster stronger understanding between Spain and the United States.
This trip serves as a wonderful opportunity to engage directly the subject of economic and political US – Spain and US – EU Relations. Past year’s program included visits to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs where participants met with Spain’s Secretary of State, open talks with the heads of the International and Economic sections of El Pais Newspaper, luncheons at the Spanish Parliament where they met the heads of both major political parties. Visits to the US Embassy in Madrid, the US Consulate in Barcelona and the headquarters of financial institutions such as Grupo BBVA and CaixaBank.
We are thrilled to open the application period for our annual Young Leaders program and begin the process of selecting an outstanding cohort of American thought-leadership to embark on this once in a lifetime opportunity, experiencing Spain up-close and with unprecedented access.
