Welcome to the Pacific Forum CSIS Young Leaders program.

Asia is undergoing several transitions and few are as important as the generational change that is occurring throughout the region. To reach out to the next generation of foreign policy makers and leaders, the Pacific Forum CSIS created the Young Leaders program. Select graduate students and young professionals from the Asia-Pacific join our policy dialogues and conferences to gain insight into the thinking of established professionals, to join professional networks and to establish their own, and to share insights on key issues.

The Young Leaders are a large and diverse group. Some are pursuing academic careers and others are in the first professional assignments. They share an interest in and concern about the Asia Pacific region and its future. This website is a resource for Young Leaders – and like-minded individuals – to share thoughts and research and to push the conversation about the future of the Asia Pacific region.
