About McCain Global Leaders Program
To adapt to and meet the needs of an ever-changing and complex global environment, the McCain Institute will determine a global thematic focus area as well as technical areas of focus for each region and recruit participants who work on relevant issues related to each theme.
Throughout the 12-month McCain Global Leaders Program, the Leaders will participate in programming that is both regional and global with the goal of connecting them to a highly relevant and targeted professional peer group in their home region, as well as a broader and diverse network of global peers.
2025 Regional Themes
- Western Hemisphere: Protecting the Human Rights of Migrants
- Europe and Eurasia: Countering the Spread of Authoritarianism
- Africa and the Middle East: Building the Foundations for Conflict Resolution
- Asia and Oceania: Managing the Great Power Competition in the Asia-Pacific
Leaders are selected through a competitive, open recruitment process. There are up to 25 Leaders per annual cohort broken into 4 regional groupings.
Though there is no age requirement, Leaders are typically between the ages of 25 and 45. Leaders should possess a strong track record of serving a cause greater than oneself as well as experience working directly on the global theme of defending democracy and their respective regional theme.
