American Council
of Young Political Leaders
2022-2023 Delegations:
Due to limited travel, we were unable to host a delegation in 2022, we look forward to hosting a delegation in 2023
Since 1993, El Pomar Foundation has partnered with the American Council of Young Political Leaders, a Washington, D.C.-based 501(c)(3), to host young emerging political leaders from around the world.
To date, El Pomar Foundation has hosted more than 70 delegations from 40 countries, introducing nearly 500 international participants to Colorado state and local government, policymaking, and politics, as well as American culture.
