Help bring the world to our community

The Heartland has historically played second fiddle to the east and west coast in international affairs, yet an increasingly globalized world calls for future leaders that can understand, and effectively communicate, in this new landscape. The Youth Diplomat Institute is actively crafting future leaders that understand their role in the world and are pushing boundaries at home and abroad.

By financially supporting the Youth Diplomat Institute you are funding opportunities for students to meet with international leaders, travel outside the heartland, and increase their cultural competencies. There is nothing else similar to the Youth Diplomat Institute in the Heartland, and your support ensures that we can expand our programming across the region.
