DIPLOMATIC PERSPECTIVE
Diplomatic Perspective is a Washington, DC-based 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering underrepresented youth and young adults to become leaders in international affairs by bridging the gap. We achieve this by providing access to educational opportunities, cultural exchanges, strategic partnerships, technology, and travel. Our organization serves as a catalyst to cultivate the diplomatic leaders and peacemakers of tomorrow.
Since our founding in 2019, Diplomatic Perspective has leveraged the talents of volunteers, consultants, fellows, and corporate partners to advance our mission and programs. Partnerships are central to our growth. Collaborating with public schools, international NGOs, leaders in international affairs, Fortune 100 companies, and government entities has enabled us to create a sustainable and impactful future. Together, we facilitate life-changing experiences for youth and young adults through intensive skill-building and immersive activities.
