We’re proud to be celebrating our 60th anniversary this year — so we’re going to take a look at some memories from 60 years of bipartisan exchanges! Here, in 1968, the first ACYPL American delegation traveled to Germany and posed in front of the Berlin Wall. #ACYPLat60

Thrilled to hear from some of our most distinguished alumni as we celebrate 60 years of ACYPL exchanges. From Argentina and China to the Middle East, their stories remind us how bipartisan exchange has strengthened America — inspiring our leaders for 60 years and counting.

I'll be forever grateful for the opportunity @ACYPL afforded me to travel to Ghana & South Africa in 2014, and to host exchanges from Japan, China, & Israel. Not to mention the fact that we're an ACYPL family now with Laurie traveling on an exchange to North Macedonia in 2024.
Joined fellow alumni, friends, and partners for the America Council of Young Political Leaders' 60th Anniversary Honors Evening. Michigan's own @SenGaryPeters, an @ACYPL alum, was honored. It's hard to overstate how impactful and necessary this program is, especially today.

Celebrating 60 years of bipartisan exchanges at the @ACYPL Honors Evening. Congratulations to 1993 alumna, Indonesia and Malaysia, Senator @MarshaBlackburn on your Honors Award recognition!

We just hosted a delegation from Japan that got the chance to visit DC, MD, & KS, discussing topics from campaign finance to state appropriations, meeting with state delegates, touring Panasonic's EV battery production facility, and visiting a technical school.

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy stopped by our office to meet with the ACYPL team and share memories from his exchange to China 1995. Always great to reconnect with alumni from our 60 years of bipartisan exchanges!

#USMexico360 | We ended the program on a very light topic… just to keep things relaxed. 😅 Our final conversation took place at White & Case, where the team shared insights on complex issues including money laundering, terrorism, and the role of cartels in the broader regional landscape.

And of course, we got to try many of their snacks—Mexico definitely knows how to snack! 😄

#USMexico360 | The group had the opportunity to tour Universidad Panamericana, and wow—its stunning hacienda-style architecture truly blew us away. We also had a great conversation about the university’s future plans and its international exchange programs. 🤝 @ACYPL

#USMexico360 | The group also enjoyed a private tour of the Palacio de Bellas Artes, where we learned about Diego Rivera’s famous mural originally commissioned for Rockefeller Center—and the story of how it ultimately ended up recreated on the walls of this iconic building.

#USMexico360 | Day 2 started with a fascinating conversation with Alex González @AlexGonzor from The Mexican Political Economist @mxpe__ about media and journalism, and how perceptions in both countries often shape narratives that don’t always reflect the full reality 🤝 @ACYPL
