About YPFP:
YPFP is an independent international organization that engages, builds, and amplifies an international community of young, dynamic, diverse leaders from all sectors of international affairs, to accelerate their impact on critical global challenges. Since its inception in 2004, YPFP has forged an international community of thousands of professionals from around the globe who are passionate about working together to produce innovative solutions.
Currently, there are YPFP branches in Washington DC, New York, Brussels, London, Toronto, San Francisco, and Tokyo. However, members do not have to reside in those cities to participate, we also have a global branch dedicated to advancing YPFP’s mission virtually across the globe. YPFP knows that building a better tomorrow starts with the young leaders we equip today; meaning, they must develop knowledge, skills, and networks now to forge new solutions to critical problems. YPFP’s programming and events are just one of the ways we unite and equip our members with tools to address our changing international climate, and YPFP is more than just an organization—it’s a movement of dynamic young leaders committed to the belief that our generation has the power to shape the future of global policy.
Whether your focus is on diplomacy, development, security, human rights, or trade, YPFP is the place where you can engage with others who share your vision for a better world. Our members come from diverse backgrounds, professions, and academic fields, but they all share a common interest in global affairs and a desire to make a lasting impact on the world.
Together, we can build a vibrant and impactful community in Los Angeles. We can’t wait to get started and hope to see you there! Email us at info@ypfp.org to express your interest today.
