The Open Hands Initiative's innovative programming provides unique opportunities to build meaningful relationships among ordinary citizens, from all sectors of society and throughout the world. In addition to the training and leadership development we provide for future leaders, we also provide platforms for young people to engage with members of government, civil society, and the private sector to influence and affect change today. Through grassroots initiatives as well as high-level conferences, we provide opportunities for diverse sets of individuals to work collaboratively together, across cultures, to solve some of the world's most complex challenges and build pathways for a more globally-minded and connected world. Our partners and supporters are critical to our work. For every program we run, we collaborate with American experts and leaders, as well as local stakeholders to create dynamic exchanges that reach across all sectors of society.
