The Obama Foundation Leaders Program is an eight-month, global virtual leadership development journey. Designed for changemakers aged 24 to 45 across various sectors, the program brings together diverse cohorts to collaborate, share insights, and strengthen their values-based leadership. The program is open across four regions and free to all participants.

What We Do/The Mission

We bring together cohorts of global leaders with various viewpoints and engage participants in exploring the challenges, opportunities, and skills needed to create positive change. We provide the tools and the community necessary to turn a shared commitment into a lifetime of impactful service. Upon completion of the program, Leaders will become part of the Obama Foundation’s Leadership Network: a growing community of civically active alumni developing tangible solutions to today’s greatest challenges.

Apply to become a leader in one of our four global programs before the priority deadline on November 23, 2026.
