The Obama Foundation Leaders: Asia-Pacific Program is a one-year leadership development and civic engagement program that seeks to inspire, empower, and connect emerging leaders from across the Asia-Pacific region.
At the beginning of the year, we invited a group of 21 emerging leaders from 16 countries and territories across the Asia Pacific for a hands-on workshop in Hawaiʻi. Together, we explored how to design the future Leaders program in the region. Incorporating their input, passion, and drive, the context-specific and engaging leadership program has come to life!
This non-residential, mostly virtual program is best suited for emerging leaders living in the Asia-Pacific region from a diverse mix of experiences and backgrounds. Applications for the 2019 program closed on Sunday, August 25 at 6pm EDT, but you can sign up for more updates about the program here.
