ACYPL

Connecting political & policy leaders through international exchange since 1966.

[ACYPL @ACYPL]

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

Enjoyed chatting with Australian political & policy leaders today @CSIS about the 🇺🇸🇦🇺alliance, the future of American economic and tech policy, and how the security situation continues evolving in the Indo-Pacific.

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.

[ACYPL @ACYPL]

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!

[Northern Ireland Youth Assembly @NIYouthAssembly]

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.

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

We’re proud to be celebrating our 60th anniversary this year — so we’re going to take a look at some memories from 60 years of bipartisan exchanges!

Here, in 1968, the first ACYPL American delegation traveled to Germany and posed in front of the Berlin Wall. #ACYPLat60

[ACYPL @ACYPL]

Thrilled to hear from some of our most distinguished alumni as we celebrate 60 years of ACYPL exchanges.

From Argentina and China to the Middle East, their stories remind us how bipartisan exchange has strengthened America — inspiring our leaders for 60 years and counting.

I'll be forever grateful for the opportunity @ACYPL afforded me to travel to Ghana & South Africa in 2014, and to host exchanges from Japan, China, & Israel. Not to mention the fact that we're an ACYPL family now with Laurie traveling on an exchange to North Macedonia in 2024.

[ACYPL @ACYPL]

What a night as we celebrated 60 years of bipartisan exchanges and honored two esteemed alums, Sen. @MarshaBlackburn & @SenGaryPeters.

Thanks to all the alumni & friends who joined us for our 60th Anniversary Honors Evening!

Here's to 60 more years!

[Marie Royce @MarieTPRoyce]

Celebrating 60 years of bipartisan exchanges at the @ACYPL Honors Evening. Congratulations to 1993 alumna, Indonesia and Malaysia, Senator @MarshaBlackburn on your Honors Award recognition! I am also a proud Honors recipient (2018) and an alumna of the 2001 exchange to Hungary and Poland. Thank you to CEO @LibbyRosenbaum for a great night, and your leadership.@ECAatState

We just hosted a delegation from Japan that got the chance to visit DC, MD, & KS, discussing topics from campaign finance to state appropriations, meeting with state delegates, touring Panasonic's EV battery production facility, and visiting a technical school.

[ACYPL @ACYPL]

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy stopped by our office to meet with the ACYPL team and share memories from his exchange to China 1995.

Always great to reconnect with alumni from our 60 years of bipartisan exchanges!

[U.S.-Mexico Foundation @USMexicoFound]

#USMexico360 | We ended the program on a very light topic… just to keep things relaxed. 😅

Our final conversation took place at White & Case, where the team shared insights on complex issues including money laundering, terrorism, and the role of cartels in the broader regional landscape.

[U.S.-Mexico Foundation @USMexicoFound]

#USMexico360 | We met with Claudia Jañez from ConMéxico, who shared the consumer products industry’s perspective on the current situation in Mexico, including the USMCA, domestic regulations, and the opportunities ahead. And of course, we got to try many of their snacks—Mexico definitely knows how to snack! 😄

[gustavo almaraz p @gustavoalmarazp]

Great to host the @USMexicoFound /@ACYPL delegation at @GEP_Consultoria and discuss the current political landscape shaping the bilateral relationship.
Strengthening dialogue and mutual understanding is key for the 🇲🇽-🇺🇸 alliance.
